Thread: 6.1 PvP: Amazing!!

My favorite thing about this mode is me just sitting in my inn room, switching back and forth my hairstyles, portrait, and whatever casual glamours I have, then joining matches. Not the actual mode itself.

Took me 150 losses, but I finally got this 'done'. May or may not keep doing it to finish up the achievement for the Gloria Ignition key, might just wait until next season.

I can see how it doesn't seem much to CC spammer but alas. I only do enough CC to clear the weekly challenge log and never touch it until next reset because the game; while it's fun, it gave me so much dose of anxiety to make me question the worthiness.

Yeah, I can barely do frontline. I should EVENTUALLY try to get the horse since I'm like halfway done with that achievement, for Twin Adder at least.. If you still need 4 or 5 plates you are looking at.. Yeah, you are looking at.. quite a bit of exp needed.

I just do casual, so it doesn't really matter too much to me. The matches are quick, if it's a loss I roll my eyes and move on. That or I just stop doing it for a little while.

A little embarrassed to admit this because of the amount of time I've committed to it but I maxed out my Malmstones week 1 and I recently reached Platinum in ranked.

I like this new PvP, but I still have my issues with it. As everyone has already pointed out job balance is all over the place, SAM has a frontloaded kit for almost any situation whereas another melee like MNK lacks a lot... anything. (gating most of MNK's damage behind a ridiculously stupid 7 step combo, meh self sustain, garbage LB damage, no good burst options, etc.) I do agree that WHM is overtuned, but I wouldn't take many steps to change it- in my opinion just make Imp cleanse-able with Purify and move its LBs charge time to 90s instead of 60s (having a huge AoE nuke that not only does pretty big damage, but also stuns and heals is too much to have on a such a short charge time). Stuns or CC in general need to have diminishing timers like they already do in PvE because that shit can get ridiculous, one well placed stun is already enough to get you killed, but three consecutive stuns is just annoying to fight.

Also I want to be able to queue with friends in casual. I don't really care if it makes things "unfair" because most casual matches are already one sided stomps anyway.

I feel like this new PvP has the potential to be some actual content with longevity to it, it just needs some careful changes and better rewards.
