So about Balance.

Unfortunately, the thing is major part of people don't know what to do in each situations in pvp (because "too simple and better not think about it").
It's like saying "Bahamut and all Savage contents are easy, you just need to always do the same". Still with knowledge, people do mistakes. They all "know they should dodge that Titan's knockback and get at the right place of the board in Leviathan fight".


"Dead Or Alive 2" on PS2 was an amazing, dynamic and fun kind of adaptive Rock Paper Scissors game :3 But I don't believe nowadays online games can provides me such a good environment to do what I want my character to do like in a Versus fighting game. I've been too used to the amazing technology of instant reaction from my controller on a console against my friends and family.
I actually set 6 GCD in my Wildfire as MCH, but the server answer makes the 6th GCD to not count for wildfire even if even the battle logs of the game show indeed the 6th GCD hit before my Wildfire dmg (I need 2.35GCD to be sure the server has time to count it at 100%, and I have a time answer of 14ms average with neolobby06.ffxiv.com (EU server) when using "cmd").

Also, that position delay is awful because of the fact it seems you are only allowed to attack your opponent if you got the requirements on your computer, but it will only works if you actually have them on the server, and the result will be according to the server result, making it a hard task when it comes to knockbacking the right way.

I think they said they will invest in servers in order to get houses for everyone in 4.2. So maybe they will find a way later to have more reactive servers about this.

The kind of rare rock paper scissors existing are skills like Holmgang/escape moves(backflips&teleports)/samurai counter (Chiten), and CC (you have to adapt your combo and movement skills according to when you have been CC).

Well it is my opinion, I think we not have enough tools for 1v1 pvp mode.

Btw, I agree with this, it also is my opinion But I am speaking about 1v1 in not-1v1 pvp mode, so like Frontlines, not like a serious real 1v1 pvp mode.
Duels in the Wolf's Den is for training or fun (like PvP FC tournament).
