Thread: 6.1 PvP: Amazing!!

It's a lot of fun. The amount of stuns and CC seems a bit crazy though. But I have mostly been playing Frontlines so maybe it is just the amount of people.

No, the pvp is not great. They had a good idea, but there are some jobs that are OP AF.

There are tons of balancing issues with the new PVP. Be it attacks that literally 1-shot from full health, or jobs that have a fraction of the range they used to have and can get yanked from outside their attack range

NO, PvP is not amazing, at all.
It's basically Overwatch but in FF14. And Overwatch is a dead game for a lot of reasons!
- Way, waaaay too much stuns, and the cleanse doesn't do anything, you can get stun locked to death even as a WAR, i've seen it.
- Overpowered LBs that are unreactable
- the job balance is absolutely broken, WAR WHM SAM DRG are completely overpowered while a lot of jobs are clearly underpowered/too situational.

The PvP is currently popular because it's new, it's really fast pace, and most importantly, THE GARO EVENT + Feast rewards, this is why people play it a lot, not because it's "good"
It need a MAJOR rebalancing.
How come they released it in this state frankly? they couldn't see the problem with all the stuns and overall balance?

healers are constantly outdpsing actual dps jobs, they heal, and cc, atm all healers are broken, they do everything with little downside, not to mention summoner, that shit simply plays itself, every match basically has like 10+ of them.

so you tell me.

Direct hit! You take 63000 damage.

I'm almost sure they have not played this pvp for more than 5 games.
Tank is basically useless compared to Melee DPS, i think the only ok tank is Warrior.

Great addition to PVP as i usually hate PVP in MMOs. But there seems to be a few things about the BLM which feels underwhelming and that is the Sleep which dont seem to CC anyone at all, nor does the 3 stacks of Freeze to snare them either. The other Jobs who has CCs you cannot break free of is insanly annoying
And the Potency of the LB seems to be lacking as well as i can nuke everything say on a SAM and they never die, then they LB and seem to 2 shot me always with 35000 hits

I hope balancing comes very soon as this cannot be allowed to be to the end of the series. That BLM has slow casts in a hectic PVP just seems to not work too well as enemies just dash in to attack me and then backflip outta reach and interupt the casts. And when I do land casts, the potency seems to be too weak

Great PVP Mode, poor balancing atm

Got around to play it now and am currently rank 3 on the pass.

I like that matches are over in a few minutes, but I have absolutely no idea what is even happening most of the time, so I just hit buttons randomly lol.

I just wish I could turn off the Playercard show before each match.
I don't care about my own and others plates so please can we get a toggle for it?
