I think that a problem you're going to run into is that they are a lot of dissenting opinions about how certain jobs should be played in PvP. General tactics is one thing, but overall utility is another beast entirely. People are almost constantly debating when and where they should or should not be using specific skills, and, quite frankly, there's not always a 'right' answer. PvP is a fluid environment. It can be tricky to make any kind of adequate guide for something like this.

You're absolutely right, and I aim to limit it to more of a "suggestion" rather than a hard and fast rule. Obviously, a player will do what they think is right in whatever situation they may find themselves in. But at the very least, we could give some options for inexperienced participants to consider.

Would love to see this
Posted this on reddit awhile back, if it helps any https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...estion/d1jwg14

This is really interesting as far as general advice, also

IMO confidence is absolutely the most important factor when going into pvp

I agree with februs that going too into detail about recommendations for specific jobs/roles might be iffy but general information would still be great. Theres unfortunately a lot of misinformation out there...

I think one of the most neglected parts of helping people become better at PvP is the focus on the psychology of it all. I'm no certified Psychologist, but in any competitive game there's also a mental game going on. There are people who get provoked into making decisions they would never normally do. It can happen to the best of us and make us start to doubt our effectiveness, which can ultimately lead to worse play in the future. With the Meta Articles, I was hoping to share some basic information on subjects like that. Also, thank you very much for that Reddit link! There are several things in there that I forgot to consider, either for the basic intro guide or the role-specific guides. If you want, I would like to credit you once the site is up.

As for an update, I have completed the first draft of an introductory guide to PvP that goes over the different modes, PvP ranks, limit breaks, and other generally important subjects. However, this document is currently 7 pages long. ; ; It might not be so bad once it's put on an actual web page, though. :P At any rate, if it does end up being too long, there will be steps taken to break things down into an easier to digest format, if possible.
