Glad to see SMN is finally a summoner again in PVP.



This. It's a lot more intense and, IMO, fun.
Somehow I never got into PvP in this game.
Perhaps because I started at a time when it didn't even have PvP and when it started getting it, it was... well, we all know it doesn't have the best track record here. I loved PvP in other games to the point of playing on PvP servers and spending my day in all sorts of battlegrounds and arenas. But I suppose when PvP got interesting I was already too used to "FFXIV is not for PvP, find other things to do".
The new payload mode looks really interesting though and I'll definitely give it a go. I've heard lots of good things about PvP gameplay for healers so that and the new mode might finally hook me.
