YES!!! FINALLY!!! DUELING!!!

[KfLeX]

Monk vs monk fists ah flying.

There should be option to do 1v2, 1v3 etc... NOW that would be fun alteast from WAR pov :P

[SantoLuciano]

Yeah WAR has such high survivability when it comes to fighting people. I managed to drop two Monks on a 2 vs 1 during frontlines. Gotta say it was pretty epic.

[Februs]

ill pay gil to whoever wins the pld v pld challenge. equally geared.

I'm game. Find me another Pld, and I'll see him on the dueling deck ... that said, Season 3 will probably be in full swing (see what I did there?) by the time you find me another Pld ... I can only think of one other person who regularly queues as one. We're a rare breed these days.

That's because Warrior can practically be another DPS if used properly. Though I like the Utility the PLD can bring to a match with stuns and being able to cover your teammates. As for Dark Knight.... ehhh haven't seen a good one yet haha.

We'll probably do this in my FC, as several people enjoy PVP but can't commit to queue times. Still, given what I've seen so far in 2016 I'm prepared for the worst.

Speaking of FC's - DEV REQUEST: Please allow sparring mats, or a purchasable practice room that allows dueling in fc house

Oh, I know. I really love how Pld plays, but I'm actually considering brushing off my War because I'm sick and tired of crappy dps who can't score a kill while I have the healer is stunned. Even with Full Swing and a head start, they just waste that timer. It's unreal how many golden opportunities people let go to waste. If SE does something about the way the points scale for wins and losses and some of the higher ranked players get back into the swing of things, then I'll get some more enjoyment out of Pld, but right now ... it's just painful to watch how bad some teams can be.

Aye i would like to use PLD more but it requires good team to be efficient, WAR can be lonewolf and do just fine due good survivability/DMG and self-heals. DRK is umm... i dunno it lacks all juicy skills like proper support(Carnal is only decent support they have atm)and specially knockbacks that both WAR and PLD has, only neat thing i can think of is Tar Pit coupled with dual Cometors when there is pile of enemy players, oh and Plunge really needs atleast 2sec stun as its way too easy to render it uselees atm just by jumping(well you can do same for spineshatter so dunno if that stun even helps there).

Would love to use DRK in PvP but atm i simply cant justify its usage when i already have both WAR and PLD, its jack of all trades master of none while other two tanks feels more complete in their role.

Thats EXACTLY WHY duelings been needed for so long..to find out said weaknesses of unbeatable job. Jobs only as good as the person playing it, and when youre able to observe patterns and actions of a given job more intimately under less intense conditions, you have a greater chance to pick up something useful against it. heaven knows healers can make use of this to get a feel for things under pressure. Melees can tighten up burst speed, etc. No I dont think itll be HUGELY popular (least not on NA/EU servers) but it definitely will have its uses training/researchwise.

I absolutely agree with your mindset and that it does present a good opportunity for learning/research (omg I can finally test blind? yay! yeah I know, maybe thats not what you meant xP). Thing is, 1v1 dueling is going to be radically different from 4v4. 4v4 Balance in this game, in my opinion, is actually pretty good (at least its a LOT better than people commonly make it out to be). But theres always gonna be people who, instead of learning, focus on blaming their failures on everything under the sun, not the least of which being "class xyz is overpowered". So now we have 1v1, which WILL be unbalanced (because no sane mmo developer would balance their pvp around 1v1) and people will just use that to further reinforce their beliefs.

Not saying that every complaint about class balance is without justification, by the way

Im just trying to point out the negative side xD And really all it amounts to is more QQ on the forums and bad players being bad. That aside, Im very excited for dueling \o/
