drg backflip is best disengage, learning every corner on the maps to make the most of it
to be fair, if I can lock down a WHM/Scholar and my team can 4v4 the other team, i feel that it's worth it, I wouldnt chase a tank tho
I wouldnt do that kind of stunt at overtime
oh for sure
but in the initial fights? I think denying long-rangers can be beneficial
what made me upset during Silver match was when RNG DPSes did absolutely nothing to jump into crystals
during overtime
yeah, the can just dip in for a little bit
they just kept Q E sidestep
Even MCH can do some scattergun shenanigans on the point
Its trueeeee
Im braindead
but at least I stay on the point and die
that's why sometimes I just... go a bit crazy lol
WHM/MCH slayer
Anyone remember the lower thresholds for Series exp??
I can't remember the exact numbers
god. why the hell are WAR players trying to solo against 5 ppl far away
Because they can stun all 5.
that's the dumbest warrior strat
Shrug. It’s your only choice during overtime. I was memeing, ‘cause it’s still dumb they can mass stun like that.
I guess they got cocky on the power, dunno.
They can last a stupid amount of time against 5 people
Only a real strat for overtime shenanigans though
this shit needs to be a bannable offense
its not showing all of them spamming it as well
at that point, that's trolling
literally we need a pvp report system
dude spammed nice job in his first lot after dying to a samurai lb
my brother in christ you hit the samurai
whoever said gold queues were better then silver was fucking lying
i think my one big gripe with this pvp is the camera
it's incredibly annoying to run behind an obstacle and the camera zooms in 40 yalms to give a beautiful view of the back of your head
move it up
just... silhouette me
just move your camera up with ctrl + arrow keys
I cannot stand ranked anymore because like
just had a match in gold against 4 plats 1 gold, with 4 golds and a new person to ranked
the match making is so bad
Yea, I don't know why everyone puts WArrior up so high.
cause its good
I violently disagree.
thats fine, community mostly agree that its good
Yeah, big ol' skill issue there
Frontline keeps lagging for me. CC is fine though.
limit your effect, lol
frontline
Im starting to think frontline strat is pick summoner > AFK until lb > drop mega flare > back to afk
somehow netted 14 kills doing that
rip gold tier players
Dang, people always brings out their worst on pvp as always. 
3-4 synchronized Bahamuts will wipe multiple teams easily.
Frontlines gonna make me tear my hair out
Every time my sides bout to win the game decides to spawn every node on the opposite side of the map and full turn the game around like its a pity part the other team sucked
Or they bum rush are base last second
yeah, that's how it works lol
Creeping suspicion I just encountered an intentional throw lol. Had a dragoon and a healer on my team last time that did absolutely amazeballs (Dragoon did 1.2m damage and healer had something like 900k heals) and the very next match the dragoon died once, said 'good match' and then stayed at spawn lol. Didn't even clock 70k damage that round. Sync queue among friends?
Carried by team
sounds like its time to report
||inb4 SE actually dont care
||
Im trying out pvp for the first time, I'm a dark knight any advice?
Stay on point, use guard and recuperate, don't die
right, ill give that a shot, cause ive never tried mmo pvp before so i was a little nervous.
probably should remember to go wolf dens pier 1st to set up your hotbar
if you havent do so yet
And don't be afraid to break away and use your Elixir. Those things are underrated. Pop recuperate until you run out of mana and then try to find an opening for your elixir.
ok ill keep that in mind
oooh how i WISH i could just que up with me friends and be able to communicate and have competent people around me
All of u queue at the same time and pray
Ib4 your friends getinto one team with amazing 5th player you are stuck with 4 people bqrley able to breath going on a trip to Narnia

I play WHM in pvp and I managed to get to bronze 1 and was just about to get to silver but got booted back all the way to bronze 3 OTL.
Is 70-90k damage roughly good for a WHM performance? I try to have everything on CD at all times but I'm never sure if I'm doing it right orz
70 is typically when the match is over before it begins orz
Oh then I mean u don’t have control over that
For the last part, try to use ur aoes for good, use misery and lb3 when a lot of enemies are around to get the most value out of them
I'm trying but I'm not quite sure where I am going wrong. I normally start with seraph when teammates are nearby to proc protect, use aqua on myself, pick a person, polymorph, lilies if around buncha other people, and then glare unless healing is required
(tho I am bad with reading the chart at the end so my #s could be off a tad)
maybe try to search on youtube with like 'crystalline conflict whm' theres a couple video with whm pov ranging from gold to diamond.

15 mil prize pool huh
No, 25m
Now here’s a problem
CC matches end so quickly
So will it be like best 2 out of 3
Best 3 out of 5
Bo5 should be the way
o/ we will be adjusting it to the amount of teams
we don't know what the traction will be like at the moment, but its handled in swiss formatting for groups then bo3 for finals
Not primal tho
How should I be combo’ing with monk?
Silence can’t be purified, but bind locks someone in place so it’s purely situational in which one is better.
i always used white pretty much, unless someone is running away and ur cc is coming up
Er, Silence can definitely be purified
Every bard I ran into had me silenced, Purify removed it no problem
It's even in the list ot ailments it can remove
Oh damn, my bad. I’ve read it couldn’t 
I can understand the confusion tho, silence isn't as easy to react to like a stun or a sleep, since you're not being held in place
Just running around wondering why your skills aren't going off lolol
How does the Pressure Point effect work with monk in pvp?
It’s kinda… a weird description?
If the target gets knocked back by Enlightenment, your next GCD, including your LB, hits them for 8k more potency
Frontlines are so much fun. Its so much fun winning the entire match but then losing in the end because SE decided 3 teams are a fun experience to have and both of the teams just focus you and ignore eachother
We weren't, flames was head, but the other alliance decided to focus us anyway

AKA giving them the free win
F
Just sit back and enjoy new summoner in frontlines
Yeah that happens a lot more than you'd think
Summoning bahamut on unsuspecting people sitting on a node, and wiping all of them off at once, is so satisfying 
Don't forget about the SCH pandemic
I just play BRD because people refuse to, but in large teams its so damn good
Oh sch is OP too
I've seen good scholars topping the dps chart
Having multiple boosted bios on you is death of a thousand cuts 
Shit hurts yo
Just remove the 3 team aspect already, its dogshit
I couldn't heal through 2 bio ticks
Dumped all my recuperate, and still died to bio ticks
That's what Rival Wings was, but it didn't get the support it needed from Square and now it's gone for a whole patch cycle for balancing
"Best" part of frontlines?
Having a 0 kill, bottom of the chart dps trying to do callouts
And they were extreme sus callouts
Rival wings was pretty fun
Like asking people to dogpile people's base in shatter 
It just was poorly balanced, yeah
Wait
insisting that we dogpile the base in shatter
Yes...
That God people ignored him...
Asking us to rush the base of the winning team
Slow them down he says 
I mean, I can understand the node and the match is very close to call
But early on? Nah playa
Oh rushing base all the time
If no shatter nodes up? Time to rush base and feed...
I never liked FL for the sole reason that every game I attempted to play was more or less two teams fighting, while the third takes everything\
Tf
Frontlines are fun gamemodes, but it suffers so much from having 3 parties
There's a strategic element to FL and that's why having a good shotcaller is necessary
The only problem right now is newer folk either don't have their maps open, are ignoring the callouts and only doing the "PvP" aspect of the mode ("it's PvP, why wouldn't we fight" nonsense lol) or are probably glue sniffing
Or people who don't know the game doing callouts 
Or the most common one, getting stuck with a team that can't do kills
Is it too much to ask for a bahamut buddy 
Although I think the regulars recognise a bahamut coming
You can see them running away asap when he comes out 
8 games in a row lost because I get the f****** people who don't know what the f****** they're doing Meanwhile enemy team is 10 at a 10 99 trillion hours in this game god tier PVP Jesus Christ Dalai Lama's
So yeah PVP is experiencing a Revival right now so there's going to be a lot of people who really don't know what they're doing
But if you do that's all the more reason for you to lead them to victory
like when you spam retreat and gather macro and still watch on as the whole team charges into full 5 man team with only 2 people alive at one moment?
Or when you spam the Attack crystal Macro only to see 2 of your team member hunting a wild rabit 1 going for a trip to Narnia and the other semingly figuring out how to move his character?
Or are we talking about Frontline where you ask people to either stop focusing 3rd place Alliance only for them to double down? Nah i know it must be when you advice the team to not walk into the Sandwich only for them bringing the salad and dressing along
sounds like you need to take a break homie
Yeah getting stuck in Bronze makes you mald hard kinda frustratimg getting close to a rank up only to fall back to zero star b3 meanwhile you see people in silver where you ask yourself how the f they even figured out how to start the game
lets not pretend its hard to rank up sir
In all honesty its pretty much luck based if you only have a few hours per day to play
I only tryharded enough to bronze for the reward and now I swap between Casual/Ranked depending on the quality of matches
I'm playing Ccc I get the brainless paraplegic spider monkeys meanwhile I'm facing the greatest esports corridanted teams ever assembled
just a plate and crystals
bronze 1 ckinda lame tho
same. Its so sad that it seems like I consistently win 1 game out of 10 I play
when you hit crystal games its the same as bronze and unranked games
set expectations low 
I cant eve reach gold. forever stuck in Silver 3, as I gain one star every 10 games
I am #2 and the games still feel the same as lower ranks lmao
Well #3 now, because I quit pvp ranking
fuck that grind
ranking does not matter in this game mode.
the mode is set to get you the highest tier with no demotion system, kinda sucks
What did you expect from FF
It coddles its players
can people STOP HOLDING LBS
Holy crap
Diamond players that cant press their LB buttons
"But what if I need it later?"
I ESPECIALLY dont get it for WHM
@silk rune I see you 
😄
Are the bug abusing WHMs getting banned yet?
Watching a DRK never die because a WHM is abusing it is very boring
So many bug abusing piece of crap WHMs WTF
Inorite?
do you even get anythint at ranks
I was just gonna hit silver just so I can say Im silver
The key to enjoying pvp is to just not play ranked
I've played probably 150 casual matches and have yet to see a single cheat or exploit performed
do you get every rewards tier below your highest one at the end of the season or do you just get the one you're on?
afaik the one you at
so if you really like gold frame but youre at plat now
youre shit out of luck
||SE :
||
: (
I made it! Playing whm only!
Playing phys ranged in these matches without a frontline is true suffering
Man PvP is so much fun when it boils down to "the enemies had a WHM that was abusing cure 2"
Or well, a WHM in general 
Hopefully the first balance patch wont take ages to come out
Hello everyone! Hope you guys are all enjoying the new Crystalline Conflict PvP!
I managed to get to the Crystal Rank and I hope to share with you guys some of the tips and mindsets when I was playing.
I made a video of me playing as a Warrior in a ranked match and explained in the voiceover what a tank should do in a battle.
Warrior can be an insanely good carry in the new Crystalline Conflict PvP mode! Really got addicted to it. Sorry about the dps meter at the top! It has nothing to do with the fight, just forgot to turn it off.
i love pvp it so much fun
btw I didn’t check it out myself with the last live letters, but I heard that the battle pass rewards will stay??? abd new one with new rewards will be added??? I compleatly forgot
Yea, that’s the idea for now. I don’t think YoshiP has decided what happens after 6.3 yet. 
I'm pretty sure its going away by 6.3
6.3 will have two battle passes - the one for 6.2 and the brand new 6.3
And then 6.4 will remove the 6.2 battle pass, then repeat
The old battle pass items just go into the Crystal shop. But yeah, I double checked his phrasing in the live letter. He definitely saying that the 6.1 battle pass items will get phased out in 6.3. A shame really, but 8 months is fairly generous.
how fast can you get like at 25 since that armor is quite nice
I'm just playing few hours and been at 12 now. So would be quite fast to finish all of it.
that’s good :3 was thinking it will take a long time XD

Hardstuck?
frontline in a nutshell
I'll never get out of bronze...
Besides pvp rank, is there any benefit for going rank rather than casual?
Only rank rewards
Ohhh, thank you.
something infinite charge
by cancelling cast or something
dont play whm so not sure how it works
Its not that impactful as you think it is
yeah can't almost everything out dps cure 2 spam because of cast time 
Its a 12k heal vs 5k dmg from glare. If people can push buttons its better have people alive as they build lb
Besides 5k glare isnt going to scare someone diving you
if people can push buttons
12k heal will keep you alive
i mean if its really infinite cast then youll need like 3 diver to kill the guy 
Its 2 people not 3
depends on who the 2 is. imagine pld + gnb
you probably gonna need like 2 hours to kill the whm
granted the 2 jobs doesnt exist almost on cc 
You dont dive as a tank to kill
The current battle pass stuff will likely get added in retrospectively with the trophy crystal currency thing that we get now
I'm surprised so few bards are around in PvP
Its because bards are team reliant
Too many people are ragging on it because of its dependency on the team ye
And when its a gamble as to your team comp and skill
Its better than mch on higher ranks
Question - I'm not sure if this has been asked before or if it's been addressed, but can PvP Teams be cross-world? And for that matter, are they even worth it since you can only solo queue for Crystaline Conflict?
Teams have absolutely zero use right now, they've been a dead feature for a few years now
Devs might be trying to rework it for CC tho, since it got a small update for it this patch
Hmm ... I wonder then how it will look later down the line
Can you queue up to other PvP modes with a team?
And even then only 4 member teams (for Frontline)
what would yalls focus priority be anyway? im noticing people ignore it when i mark teh WHM or DRG 1
WAR
i focus whm mch nin war mainly
and rdm if there is one
cc otherh ealers and casters and phys ranged
Are there macros I can use to instantly target enemy team player 1-5?
"Only"
4 is enough to stomp the other 48 people
that macro could be helpful for GNB
junctioning a specific person more easily
if only GNB was good
unbeleieveable
i just got home from work and the past three matches ive lost not a single person on myh team got a kill
I underestimated the number of no life hardcore players are doing CC right now
i just can't understand how we got 0 kills for three matches straight
welcome to coinflip of pvp
sometimes you get bad team mates and you cant do anything about it
0 kills is a coin flip?
some times its u whos shit
makes sense
Ngl, I don’t think stalling the outnumbered enemy team would make the difference by self mitigating and guarding until your teammates respawn 💀
thats real impressive tbh, since a hand full of the dps limit breaks are a guarenteed kill
SAM’s LB 💀
do you guys know how to move the ally and enemy health bars in CC?
Go to the Wolves Den and then edit your HUD
Its under Duty in the hud layout
Also, this goddamn sound glitch in pvp is really grating
None of them are guaranteed without a bit of work
Kek
i guess i shouldnt expect people to be able to put all their cds on 12345 and then just press 12345 lb lol
I certainly didn't expect that from any of the teammates I got
u cant* pvp on a f2p account can you, i kind of wana start again on one of the worse specs and see how silver/gold is atm
just make a new chr
im dumb

i feel like a long time ago i heard someone say you need to pay to play other chars but i assume that was either old info or they meant f2p accounts can make lots of alts
so i always just dismiss making new chars
Nah
ye think ill do that then, make a lalafell to dish out pure dancer suffering
or monk and only LB white mages
well you have to play the game to 30 to unlock pvp so maybe mnk 

I ran into some healers in bronze rank doesn’t do much damage dealt but more healing
And most death counts
💀
Just randomly decided to try pvp for the firs ttime. lost one game then won every single game to silver 2 in a row as a WHM. its so strong xD
i love it
Seraph Strike though
is there some sort of a pvp tier list?
buddy invite me to try out pvp yesterday, im not a pvp person in general mind you
so i went in with my sage, didnt had heals as a healer for whatever reason.. yes i noticed kardia and pneuma
and i died approx after doing 2 casts that felt like a wet noodle
also, tabtargeting in pvp.. what the actual fuck..
in CC probably something like
WTF IS THIS GAY SHIT SO OP tier : WHM
Actually good : WAR, SAM, NIN, RDM, DRG
then theres the rest. Not saying the others are impossible to climb with its just that the above are 'meta' now. Atleast I think so but im also a scrub so 
Frontline its probably pick summoner. afk till lb. drop mega flare. 20 kills ez. 
ye ur lists about right huung, id put nin above all the lower ones but not on same tier as the actually good
does anyone know if you can you demote out of your rank (like plat-gold) or is it like a check point?
Checkpoint
cool ty
Pld was fun in frontline
You know what would be even funnier ? People noticing the crystal in PVP match's
I honestly gave up on climbing ROFL, reached diamond and stopped, just getting the gloria mount and I'll stop, maybe in the future when job gets adjustments and purify actually works
can you report someone from abusing the WHM cure?
there was this guy spamming cure 2 -.-
what kind of changes can we expect for jobs in upcoming patches
i know the community has a lot of ideas but i’m curious what you guys think the team is more likely to do
well GNB for starters can actually tank without needing a tank on enemy team
that would help him
MNK can be an DPS instead of being a tank 😂
i want GNB to be good
lol
i dont mind them not having any CC if they have the damage/sustain to make up for it
Yeah the fact your tanking skill depends if you have a tank on the other team is stupid asf
xD
Sage’s LB should be centered on the Sage and move with the Sage. That’d be dope, and make it dangerous
healers dont heal besides whm abusing a bug
change targetting to closest enemy and auto target
if youre new to role based team pvp youre going to suck for a while untill you learn the basics of team fighting
i dont know if there are any ff14 guides on just team fighting for cc out yet but a league of legends guide on teamfights will still cover most of what you need to know
yeah healers can spot heal but vast majority of the healing done in in pvp is self-healing
either mp restoring, potioning, or grabbing health from the ground
at least once whm cure bug gets fixed
What does this do anyways?
not that I personally know of, besides cc spam as whm
THIS SATURDAY! Our friends over at CEM will be hosting a Crystalline Conflict tournament! Complete with matchmaking if you don't have a group of 5 and a prize pool for the top 3 teams!

i am so upset I just played frontlines since the new update as whm
I don’t like change
They need to disable whm completely from PvP until they fix it
Posting this from the PvP discord:
I need to get some duels in with really good MNK/SAM on Midgardsormr.
If you want to duel a strong RDM please hit me up. I want to really determine if MNK/SAM can beat RDM 1v1
If you are any other class please hit me up if you think you can beat RDM as well
Love it when DPS decide to 1v1 in a team game
There should be a quick chat option for squishies that says, “I’m getting killed out here, please help.”
lets fight somewhere empty Vegeta!
Need a few hundred wolf marks
Queue casual
Literal mouthbreather teammates
Just typical things
How do a pld and war dive them 2v4 and score a kill
its pretty legit for stalling tho
make yourself attractive to kill while the payload moves
Ranked feels like concentrated suckage
Ranked sucks in a different way
I love that I've been doing so much, my Dragoon is higher than my Dark.
So cool. MCHs LBing mid CC chain

Me trying to futilely rank up to bronze 2
Honestly bronze and silver feels the same as unranked
Quality of team mates swing wildly
Tfw I send someone a friend request to tell them how much I love their character and name and they reject me and be dicks to me in the next match :sadge:
😠
Me in gold 4
Damn
Bad discord
If I could carry anyone up, I would :sadge:

Its so much fun having your guard go on CD and do nothing
because a stun overlapped
Nice netcode
very fun
Still not as fun as not having a WHM while they do
berry cool
berry balance
Ranked pvp is suck RNG based if you get a good team or not forever bronze
I swear to god most WAR players just use 0 brain cells
WAR
0 brain cells
Have you heard of what WAR brain is?

5 dps comps is fine as long as you guys know how to focus fire
Theyll fall one by one
This is feast or famine for me, sometimes that team will just push kill and win, the other they get CCed to hecc and back and melt
Yea, comes down to which team is better at focusing down targets.
Any tips on how to improve as red mage for diamond climb?
just got polymorphed whole game right after lb
also realised it somehow cancel my lb?

WHM are truly evil in pvp 
how do i play black mage in pvp
Pray to god 3 times a day for someone to peel for you 
but no one comes
like if enemy team runs more than 2 melee dps i feel like i just dont get to play
its probably more of the meta problem now. the meta is like rdm sam nin
3 dive dps then 1 dive tank
if one of them is ninja the summoners could be casting megaflare and quadra killing their whole team
but it chase me half across the map
then limit break m e
what job gives title "garo"?
SQE isn't banning blatant win-trader on Aether DC lol
Dude is using alt-account to throw games for his main account
So many people have reported this guy
and SQE is just ignoring it
who is it 
0 votes and 0 comments so far on Reddit
I wont' say because it might upset mods
but lets just say
he's top 5 now
and will probably be top 1 by tomorrow
oh
I see
I feel like PvP rn just feels like who's white mage is better
I just wanna play GNB without feeling like a burden to my team
paladin
ty ty
Anyone know a good site for ninja rotation pvp patch 6.1? I'm new to the game and don't want to bring my teams down.
holy moly is it possible to blacklist a player during a pvp game? some of these people bind the macros to their scroll wheel or something
I mean the macros are meant to grab your attention and not tunnel vision
🅱️ ush the crystal
If you are vs 4+ dps expect to get rushed down so play back and prep your silence for the dive
dont force dash to get your riposte
if you are vs less than 3 dps you can play more aggro
I'm about to hit crystal on rdm
class is nuts tbh
use your -dmg aoe (idk the names) when vs rushdown team on the initial engage
vs a less threatening team you can use the +dmg and dive forward with your dashes
stay near your tanks dont isolate yourself
RDM does insane burst and AoE dmg
i do this if i see people chasing someone into enemy base w/ fresh respawners coming in
Cause it is a white mage diff every game
extremely tilting when that happens
man sometimes you get those people who just run onto the crystal 1v5 every single time they spawn
@thick ravine yes and im plat when i see it happen im really suprised like
You really saw 5 people and decided it was a good idea to go alone?
its pretty much a lost game at that point since you're always 4 players
Cause what kinda outcome are they hoping for
Stalling or throwing
Throwing it is
I can undetstand stalling for OT
When 2 min left or even 1
Its throwing
Also acceptable when enemy is on 99.9%
The only guy i wanna see running into 1v5 is a Samurai with his LB ready
Hoooooly there are so many useless sacks of shit WAR Players
unga me chase 1 person, me lb them good yes
Cause people think its brainded when it requires understanding
I also dont really get why WHM gets 51000 HP unlike the other healers
It feels so dogshit to just get 1 useless player and to autolose to it
Im amazed people in diamond + STILL somehow manage to never fucking LB in an entire match
I see you met the samurai in my placement match yesterday
I also noticed you didn't say anything about actually using the Lb
I'm a Sam myself and that's how i flip a losing game most of the time.
Then there are games like these where no amount of carrying you do can win it
Oh see
You used your LB
My teammate was more like the 2nd-4th entries on your list

Run in, dive instantly, stun, lose 3/4 of his health, shield
Sounds like the average WAR Player
Dive instantly on the first target, mind you
i pop guard before engage then purify and chiten
And average MNK / SAM
Usually their warrior or drk
See. I'm the war
I'm in front trying to bait skills and find a good time to gapclose on their squishies
And zoom goes the samurai right onto their warrior
I'm usually just the annoying piece of shit bard in the back trying to silence you right out of your guard

The fucking backstep is what seals it for me. You dive onto them and they just hop away


See when you're a war player games go one of two ways
what is annoying about silence is that most of the time you dont know you are silenced😂
You dive, the enemy team collapses on you, your team mops up their isolated and back you up when your shield and 2nd rend are up
at least you know you are stunned when you're character aint moving
But I do
Prepare to get Apex arrowed
Or you dive, distract their entire backline, and their two tanks somehow get a kill 2v4 and have your entire team on the run

I love it when I press heal
but the server tick says no and a NIN get the execute
berry fun
Berry fun when it consumes the mana and makes the SFX too
Tank main have known this pain forever
People these days will insist the superbolide invul gap exists
When it doesn't and they just died to server tick
And it goes on cd anyways

NIN LBed while stunned and silenced
not a broken game at all
One day SE will be able to fix their netcode
One fucking day

So I guess reaper is bad huh

Can I promote my duel playlist here for other RDMs to learn from?
does SAM LB distribute its damage depending on number of targets, or does ir do 24k to each target struck?
!pvpaction Zantetsuken
Swiftly charges forward, dealing damage to target and all enemies nearby it with a potency of 24,000.
If target is afflicted with Kuzushi, deals damage equal to 100% of their maximum HP.
Ignores the effects of Guard when dealing damage.
The additional effect of Kuzushi cannot be applied to players riding a machina and non-player combatants.
Can only be executed when the limit gauge is full.
Cannot be executed while bound.
24k each
That moment you recuperate more hp than the sge heals total
Sure, it would be appreciated a lot! :D
mfw we lose in overtime while in the lead because my team isn't trying to get the other team off the crystal
Here is the playlist of me (RDM) vs a really good MNK: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXTaoOStcTjQpXQ7nuDBuXsAsUjeUwGaK
I agree that's pretty heckin rough
WAR is pretty fucking strong and stupid, but I'll be damned if PLD + 2 healers doesn't make my jimmies rustle
Ty for the playlist! 
Im REALLY hoping the first balancing will happen with ult drop
RDM, WHM and WAR absolutely need nerfs
no
don't nerf RDM
just buff everyone else
RDM literally serves it's purpose of being a solo ganker
If you don't have team support, it kills you
If you literally just have 1 other person peel for you by CC or focus damage
the RDM is going to lose that exchange
Also RDM isn't as unbeatable in 1v1 as everyone thinks
I found a MNK that can consistently put up a challenge
I don't really care if it serves its purpose or not, its doing too much lets be real here
It's too much because that's all it has
is just damage
It's aoe CC is nice sure
but people dont' often line up
and the aoe-width isn't that big
Outside of their sole melee combo there's very little they can do to help the team
MNK can do insane damage/survive as well
they just take a lot more effort to pull off
compared to RDM
Which would warrant changes, and if only 2-3 jobs are out of line, especially since its in pvp, just nerf them. Dont buff everything else because powercreep in pvp will end up real bad
I dont want no Warlord of Draenor dogshit pvp fest again
I don't think SQE's intention is to go for homogenized pvp design
No Mists snoozefests because everyone has everything
They want some classes to stick out
and require team coordination to deal with
Why else would they for example
give fucking SAM an aoe 1-shot that is easy to pull off
easier to play around than RDM IMHO
I can personally deal with SAM, you can't expect a random pepega group to always deal with a RDM
There's going to be a tournament tomorrow
invite-only
I don't imagine RDM is going to be a god-tier pick in that

due to how one-trick it is and how little support it brings to a team besides just damage
But since all we have is solo queue, and RDM lending itself to solo queue, don't ya think they should balance for that?
tourney is premade?
Yes
cause balance is around soloq
I think it's invite-only, making teams
I think they should make some more classes that are just as dangerous
I also want to add that
RDM is a very high-risk low-burst class. It builds damage up quickly by multiple GCD hits and DOT ticks
I get not wanting to see what you play get nerfed, but when practically every match has those same 3 jobs, then yikes
It has to stay in
while having little to protect itself
SAM have chiten, 50% damage reduction from all damage
as well as an extra CC immunity
RDM doesn't have that if they're using frazzle
RDM can charge someone with corps
debuff that ONE person to deal 20% less damage to the RDM for 7sec
that doesn't pan out well in a 5v5
when the entire team can change to you and dunk you
magic barrier at most reduces damage taken by 10%
but at least it applies to your whole team
also increases healing potency by 20% which is thicc
your 15000pot turns into 18000

but frazzle is better
10% extra damage and 20% less healing
turns enemy 15000pot into 12000pot
RDM is literally built around "Kill them before they kill you"
If they do nerf it then idk what RDM will be useful for outside of it's AOE cc?
because it's already squishy as heck
51'000 hp lol
about 6k - 7k lower than other melee
nerf dmg buff hp
Still doesnt warrant the damage IMHO, not for the way the mode is set up. If there were pre-made queues it likely would need buffs
I think it'd be nice to see them add a 5th combo maybe
verflare does 12000 damage
but make it do less damage
introduce scorch
that way the burst takes longer
and gives more time for RDM to be doing damage
since outside of melee combo all they can do is sit there and hardcast a 5k+5k cast
Also, I swear they must have miss-typed something on WHM. Their HP pool has to be 41k instead of 51k with how broken they are, right?
Idr WHM health
I just know RDM
The tournament btw: https://twitter.com/PlusONE_/status/1517300126808694786
The Wolves Cup, a @FF_XIV_EN Tournament, returns this Saturday, April 23 @ 7PM Eastern ⚔️
Watch some of the best NA teams, including multi-Rank 1 & Top 10 players, battle it out in the 5v5 Crystalline Conflict!
I'll be shoutcasting LIVE with @rookuri_ at https://t.co/5mooAdtwQ0
106
how come I still have teammates jumping in 1 by 1
they didn't even reach checkpoint and they jump in 1 by 1
after the first team battle
Ima be real man
This shit happens in crystal too
hell yeah
objective what ae those
time is time inside the crystal right
Yes
true you only need one person on it at a time
but you also don't want to be outnumbered
if you're on the offensive your tanks/melee should be pushing ahead into enemy territory
while ranged/caster can push crystal as backline
^
there are often reasons for squishy to be on crystal
all depends on the situation
there are no super simple rules of thumb, it's a lot of situational awareness and following instinct
It is objective based, but you still have to play around the objective as well, which includes going off crystal for team wipes. As said, it's situational
Same idea you'll see in overwatch games.
Yeah
Always be flexible
Sometimes I will take a death/waste my guard by going on crystal
if it means holding out long enough for my team to accomplish something
Though it's rare because I'm usually the one doing the big damage as RDM
There's a lot of times when I just get instagibbed an I'm like, oh. SAM/MCH ult
Got it
finally had a decent team
when you land your WAR ult on the entire enemy team and then realize your team is dead
Anyone crystal in chaos server?
That feeling when you wish the various PvP communities would get off their high horses and just allow wintrading since the GMs clearly don't care
Not looking to get to top 100, I just want to get to crystal...
That title should have been a PvE one
No seriously why am I getting put against war WHM teams fucking six times in a row
There's more than 100 people in Crystal on my datacenter, i wouldn't be taking top 100 from anyone just from entering it XD
and the top person has like a 3000 point lead and didn't play at all yesterday
Yes because cheating is surely the answer when you can’t get something legitimately
The devs don't care though
the top person on both aether and primal wintraded and used cheat addons
and they haven't been banned
Hell, Happy has footage of the one on Aether wintrading and cheating, the GMs haven't bothered to get back to him even though there is FOOTAGE
Yes, so because some people cheat and haven’t been punished yet, you also should cheat
Makes complete sense

honestly i don't really care about getting into the leaderboards because i know i'm not good enough
i just want to hit crystal and call it good
Because you're an idiot if you try to resist it
Yes
Because clearly THE PEOPLE WHO MANAGE THE SYSTEM DON'T CARE SO WHY SHOULD WE?
if the people who were clearly cheating were being banned then yes, we shouldn't cheat
i mean go ahead and cheat then :)
[Original Message Deleted]
I'm not even looking for top 100, JUST crystal
there's more than 100 people in Crystal on Primal, I could get in it and no one would know
hot take; play the game and win
I want the plaque so I cheat 
Tell that to my idiot team mates who can't do anything
they spread damage and don't focus threats
maybe u dont get crystal then
[Original Message Deleted]
I'm trying to call targets, they refuse
neither should u cheater cheater pumpkin eater
[Original Message Deleted]
bruh if youre better than your rank youll rank up eventually because you have 4 chance of bad players on your team and the other side have 5
I'm not the one cheating
wintrading = not cheating now?
but seriously check number one on Primal


I'm not wintrading
because no one is willing to help on any of the discords
so i'm not cheating
I thought you were trying to tell us that people who don’t cheat are idiots
"if you can't beat them, join them"
that idiom has been a thing for centuries for a reason
cheater cheater pumpkin eater
???? you can beat em tho
i can't
just git gud?
like theres like 20 million crystal player
u gonna tell me they all cheat?
because Cooool Cat is actively using duration altering addons
coool cat is not the reason you can't get to crystal
What does that have to do with you getting to Crystal
like you said you only want crystal. and im gonna bet most of the crystal player didnt cheat
but they're an example of SOMEONE WHO IS CHEATING AND THE DEVS DON'T CARE TO BAN

You probably don’t even see them in your games
so just git gud dont cheat?
Self reflection is the gateway to enlightenment 
Then give me the good luck to get a good team to get out of silver hell so i can stop seeing unranked
its ok to be silver
not proportionally
No, it's not
took me like 36 >_>
I think I’m at 12 or so and still stuck at the very bottom of bronze
there were some people that got to platinum with 31 wins >_>
just keep at the climb!
Everyone goes at their own pace
It took me forever to get to Crystal
but I also didn’t cheat
Then fix ranked so you don't lose stars at all
I'M NOT CHEATING
I'm saying they need to get off their high horses if the devs don't care
then the whole game will be crystals 
im legit starting to think u meme-ing here
Yes absolutely
They should've released a PvP update
And made all the rewards PvE content

We're literally called "Crystal Bearer" in a voice line in the MSQ
let me ask you a question lets say we just swap the names of the title where crystal is below bronze
would you still advocate for cheating/win trading
nope
sure
because the "clearly should have been PvE reward" wouldn't have been a complete RNG pain in the ass to get
since you can't lose stars in unranked
my dood youll have to look at yourself if youre hardstuck at your rank. its not always 'my team suck/ its rng i get bad team mates'
it IS my team sucks
because they refuse to engage, they refuse to coordinate
they refuse to WORK AS GOD DAMN TEAM
6 losses in a row, they refuse to touch the crystal
you gotta start blaming yourself brother
self reflection is the gateway to enlightenment 
look at ways you can improve your gameplay as you climb !
What job do you usually play
I need to abuse WHM better. 
RDM looks pretty neat, but I might save it more for frontlines
RDM is really good
RDM is kinda busted
Yeah I just haven’t really played it yet, just fooling with the dummy and a single shatters game
Will try it out more in Onsal and casual CC
Damn, maybe they should start handing out the Ultimate titles and weapons. It’s clearly my party holding me back from clearing all the ultimates 
But anyways, I haven’t tried RDM yet. Sounds like fun if it can just duel people to death 
Wouldn't use rdm in frontlines
They do
People pay for carries and piloting
Having to go melee to burst is just asking to be focused down by the death ball
Ultimate titles have lost all value because of the people that just pay for them
Yea, same.
fun fact, at least 10.6% of the player base cleared UCOB, at least 12.3% cleared TEA, and at least 14.3% cleared UWU
Warrior stronk 
46 and Silver 3 0 stars
Fun fact uwu and ucob are just mechanical brainchecks at this point
And all 3 are clearable via pf
So they're easier to attain too
Depending on the sites you looked at, they only care about players that checked/registered their characters on that site
Which leads to naturally biased data
Otherwise, source™️?
that's why i said at least
At most*
eh, whatever
it's late. people can't be bothered to use words for what they actually mean anyways so why should I bother
RDM is busted when you let them be busted.
RDM is meant to focus on a single person
Rdm is low effort class with high impact, and only really skilled players on MNK and maybe SAM stand a chance
I posted my playlist yesterday
I fought against a strong monk
And it shows that they can make the difference
Here's a link to that post
Man that was rough to read

Oh
I climbed to #2 then quit playing CC
I've dropped to #8 since people are overtaking me
Including the win-trader
who is now tied for #1 lol
Yeah I know
Someone from the community team @ SE contacted me
idk if they'll do anything though
There was a speed hacking BLM that did it for years. Never got banned
lmao
Good grief
It's pretty sad how much SQE cares. Seems they only get involved in player affairs if it involves verbal assault
I've heard stories of women being stalked in this game
and SQE never did anything
Sounds about right
2 tournaments going on today
Curiosu to see the comps that'll be used
and if RDM is as strong as in coordinated play as pubs
Meaning, why should the rest of us care, the “refs” don’t XD
You say this but, there are a lot of people who care about cheating in professional sports like Baseball
The league staff just didn't care
but the fans sure as hell do
Yes, because the refs there CARE
No
The refs didn't care
which is why cheating has gone on so long in MLB
It's only recently that they started caring
but that's speculative
They do, for other reasons

They can be physically hunted down at the stadium
I just wish the various discords would get off their high horses and just allow wintrading... i want to get out of silver hell...
Theres people in Platinum will less wins than me....
It is
I don't like win-trading because it's hurting other people's games
It doesn’t
Unless language settings do absolutely nothing in CC
you're playing 4v5
that team of 4
is losing
because the 5th is throwing
Also it takes away the legitimate effort other players make, when they are pushing for higher ranks
Say 10 people in JP servers set their language for duties to French, and they’re the only ones doing so, wouldn’t they see no one else?
Who knows
And “takes away legitimate effort” is a joke
Not really
Most of the people in high ranks either cheat or got lucky
I worked my ass off to get through silver, gold, plat, diamond, and into crystal and hit #2
Why shouldn't you be doing the same? lol
Got lucky

And how often have you seen people respawn faster than 10 seconds, or use CDs faster than they should be allowed?
Because we do have people using hacks
I don't think I did when I played
I think the hacks came around
once I quit lol
Guess I got lucky and only played against legit players
yeah like
I'm consistently top 2 of my team
but we still get bitchslapped cause the enemy team decided to get good rng and got 5 crystal players on their way to the top and i got 3 unranked monkeys and a 50/50 between a pepega edgelord and an actually good player
Nope, since day one
They were in Feast as well, number one on primal used them, and they’ve openly said so, and the GMs haven’t banned them.
Number one on aether wintraded to first place and MrHappy has footage of them, and they aren’t banned
So why should we care?
but that doesn't mean we shouldn,t the players
I mean yeah
but there are people who got to top anyways too
Because we're players and we can hold a different standard then developers who are a corporation and just want our money
Legit
Tournaments can have their own rules
Then stop playing ranked
Because they're in it for fun and integrity, the challenge
I did stop playing ranked lol
I stopped 5 days ago
I probably will lol
This is the first time I touched ranked
I never bothered with feast or anything heavily into PvP
Just go to casual. It’s the same rewards minus portrait junk that’s going to be removed
This is probably the first, and last season, I will participate in
I'm an extremely salty person and it's too stressful getting bad team comps/players even at crystal tier
Because pvp is an unbalanced joke right now
Depending on the server
if I get them on my team
Primal has it
Every server most likely has them
But crystal seems like theres none
Allegedly
No no, Primal does
Isn't Crystal the ERP dc?
Very fucking sus
No really i see some dcs and stuff
