[Fannah]

Hello everyone

I only made this hoping this will encourage some people to get into PvP.

If you have any suggestions, advice, critic, question, etc to tell me, don't hesitate to do so^^

Samurai : I might do it later, but they don't really have impressive combos, it's more about adaptability.
Warrior : I might do it later.
Paladin : I unfortunately don't have this class (but kinda soon).
Dark Knight : I don't have this class and don't believe they really have like a specific burst combo.
Casters : I only have RDM among casters and I might do it later but I'm very disappointed by how nerfed they have been to the point I didn't tried them after as I prefer PvP with other classes anyway.

The countdown at the beginning of each videos is a macro to burst simultaneously a target with your allies, I advise more people to use it overall. I also use it to simulate the countdown in duels.
Thanks to Lumi Phantom (Shirolumi) from the Tomberry server to made me aware of this macro :
/merror off
/mk attack5 <t> <wait.1>
/mk attack4 <attack5> <wait.1>
/mk attack3 <attack4> <wait.1>
/mk attack2 <attack3> <wait.1>
/mk attack1 <attack2> <wait.1>
/macroicon "Target to Attack 1" enemysign

I dont know if "combo" is correct term in this game. In fighting games combo usually mean opponent can not move or execute any action until combo is over. It is more like burst.

[Fannah]

I completely agree as I love fighting games. It's still more fun to say than "chain of actions to execute in order to beat your opponent in duels the quickest you can in the most efficient and fluid way when starting with 0 kind of all energy charged".
As I assume you understood what was meant in the context of FFXIV, I guess there is not much problem

And it's not real burst either, it's too long to be called burst, so it's closer to be a combo than a burst.

I guess you can use those combos. Just make sure when you do your big hits, you do them once the counter reaches 1. But if anything, it's best to learn how to burst, and use those bursts when the counter reaches 1 (to coordinate with other DPS). Also, there are PvP discords you can join to help you improve your game. I recommend the Wolf Pups Den. You can find the invite link at the PvPaissa website. ^_^

That's very nice of you, thank you ! I'll check that channel now

Overall don't worry, I manage about how to PvP in team on real maps despite I do such video to encourage people, and even did a disclaimer under each videos to underline the fact : "This is not a video made to tell you how to play X overall in PvP but only to give some ideas and a kind of start to people willing to improve with this class" not to make a whole guide of all possible situations and how to adapt according to the situation, the map, etc^^

I guess if it was easy to explain what to do in each possible decision, people would have done it already, so I just leave that here, as 1v1 is one thing to know when you are capturing a base or a monolith in Seal Rock and you're against only one guy, or maybe one you cross on his mount coming from a corner but who didn't see you. Better hit hard and fast. Same if you respawn after dying and you have to take back your base guarded by one guy.
I see too many people claiming there is no skill at all to have in 1v1 and there is just to spam all buttons and it's all about match-up because of imbalance, blablabla... It's true, it's imbalanced for 1v1, but even in teams it is, and if I beat a DRG when I'm MNK, and that I beat MNK when I'm DRG, maybe it's not all about match-up :3 (don't worry I don't put words in your mouth, it's just some words that come back suddenly when thinking and writing about the topic).

And thank you about making that clear in the topic about the cooldown On my side, it was complicated to make a decision about the countdown as I also wanted to simulate the countdown from basic training duels in the Wolf's Den ^^" (so there was like an imaginary 0 after the 1).

I even did a video to show a macro to use Elusive Jump more efficiently with a macro /facetarget, but it seems no one saw the details under the video to see it :3

Credit where credit is due; JP players used the macro far before I started PvP. I found it on one of the elemental melee players lodestone blog.

As for RDM combos (or burst rather), since it's the only job I play, it's pretty much the same way it always was before removal of Manafication, although it takes slightly longer if you wanna burst with Verflare/Holy into instant melee now.

[Fannah]

Haha yea, this is why I didn't talk about credit but about thanking you
