I've been playing around in the Feast recently (unranked matches), and PVP seems really fun. The only problem is I feel like a drag on any team I join. Out of probably over 20 matches, I've seen the victory screen on two of them. I've tried PLD, WHM, and Ninja, and on anything but PLD I get killed very very quickly and my team gets destroyed. I'm not sure if what's continuously killing my teams is my incompetence or if I'm getting assigned to random teams (I always queue alone, no one else in my FC likes PVP) and getting killed by pre-mades who have more organization.

I'd like to be a more helpful PLD player (PVP is a really fast way to get Goetia) and learn how to play a DPS well in PVP (DPSing just feels more fun). I've read some basic guides (maximize your rotation, protect the healer as the tank, etc) but once the carnage starts I just seem to get lost. Any tips are helpful.
