A thought on dueling

[PArcher]

Please, you know there's going to be a ton of naked "dueling" on Balmung now...especially with Dragoons.



More on topic, I know several people who want to do this (myself included) just to BS around and have fun. Bets on matches will be had, some more balanced than others, some just for the heck of it. Another way to pass the time, do something different, and compete with friends.

If its popular enough, it could be expanded, for sure. Maybe an actual 1v1 tourney or something later on in the Colosseum (with proper 1v1 balancing) and stuff like that. But due to the way PvP skills work, it will only be available in designated areas, and currently that's only at the Pier.

Hard to be a dueling healer when they've still taken away the cleric stance. >____> How fun is it to battle a healer or healer vs healer with no damage buffs?

[Evangela]

I want it to be available everywhere. Including sanctuary areas, residential areas, inside the estates and apartments, and during duty.

I think you need to challenge a person to a duel and have that other person accept before both can fight. If so, open world PvP can be a thing and we won't have to worry about getting killed while crafting, gathering or afking.

Though whether or not such a system is possible for them, who knows, since the current system you have to be in the Dueling Square. Maybe they can expand it for more zones

We'd also need some sort of setting or system to prevent the option at times - ie: a way to block the pop up. The number of times I accidentally took a teleport because the pop up popped up while I was trying to do something else and accidentally clicked yes while trying to confirm something else. ;_;

Duel 1vs1 is always about having fun more than the fight itself. Of course there are times that one will want to proof they Re better than other. In other games, healer did indeed got moments to shine. The excessive healing properties and the buffs they gave to themselves plus the 1-2 skills that wad mostly use to lure could kill in PvP if u knew how to gear/stats ur class.

I was hoping for the ability to duel for RP reasons, but limiting it to one spot way out of the way of everything kind of ruins that D:
