Best PvP class?

[FunkYeahDragons]

Healers, ranged DPS, and melee DPS are going to be focused first, so playing a tank could get you some time alone to gain experience. A team should be supporting healers where possible, but you can't really count on that.

Healing is high-pressure and takes some getting used to, but all the jobs have self-defense and AST can heal on the move. I've survived several players on me in Seal Rock on occasion. You can also survive melee LBs by focus-targeting them and watching for Raw Destruction, then using Attunement.

Astros are a pain I play mnk but can manage a LB on them if I'm lucky.

Thanks everyone for the help. I really appreciate it.

Dark Knight is the best, because it's the unquestionably the worst...

Experience and being able to adapt to the situation seem more important to me than a Jobs potential, nobody plays any Job perfectly all the time, so I'll mirror comments to play what you're comfortable with... I just find a guilty pleasure in winning as the Yamcha of Jobs...

Heheh, my FC friends went on all the "worst" classes in 4v4, most of them weren't on their mains, and they called it the "Sh*tter comp" and they were still beating people :P They had a lot of fun with it.

Well... Some points:

I tottally agree , but there are some points wich people dont think when they blame Paladins....

1) Clemency has slow cast, big MP consumption and its easily interrupted...
2) People run from cover...
3) U cant cover or clemency someone who is on the other side of the map... So if u want your paladin to stunlock healer for example, u cant instadie on the otherside of the map, cause there is nothing he can do about it... And u know how DPSs loves to Insta-Die... You blink and boom... DPS/Healer is dead...

what? this does not make any sense , first of all, if PLD is covering someone, they gotta stay close to protec their target (which is the point why they covered them in the first place) if u dont, ur fucking up (unless theperson covered is really that clueless) Clemency got bufffed so its actually a HUGE CLUTCH game saver. Ive seen so many games saved by a paladins Clemency u had to not have played enough to see otherwise.

And your talk about people being on opposite side of the map , first of all, if you are not with your team you are fkn up, thats it. Same goes to the other team. NO one should be separated unless its an rare occasion in the last minute where the melee dps is limit breaking the 10 stack tank to win the game. Other than that, your comment makes no sense.
MO PLD is by far the more superior tank if the PLD knows whats hes doing. same with WHM as the superior healer (IF) he knows what hes doing. Both jobs have a higher skill ceiling to perform at max potential.
WAR is honesty a 3rd dps with great CC like holmgang and some minor support like Thrill of Battle

Afaik Clemency got a 2 second cast, the same as any single target heal any healer has. So it's pretty fast.

Except that Paladins dont have the cast speed of a mage... So yeah... 2 entire seconds on pvp... think about it...

Cover skill => U wouldnt beleive the amount of players who manage to run out of cover skill.... its insane...
