The "PvP Is Bad" Guide to Frontlines : FFXIV PvP Mentor Series

ESO looks very odd now

what is setting to show only jobs class in pvp?

dude, either you are playing with hud at 200% or or screen is so tiny that is making me claustrophobic

anyone n idea how to fix the terrible tap behavior in PvP of this game?^^

Delete PvP. It's shit.

"As much fun in pvp as I do"

There's no such thing as fun in pvp. There's people trying to slog through it or sweaty people playing a ranged dps or healer. Nobody knows how to focus on objectives and there's no way to turn around a loss from one play of people ignoring the objective and allowing them to get flanked.

I'm still rather curious as to why it's near impossible to deal damage in the start of the match.

Cliff Ice is always a trap and a total waste of time.

Onsal Mid is also a trap and a huge waste of time and energy.

Trying to camp caves is always never going to work out the way you want it to.

Thanks for making this video. I completely suck at pvp in ffxiv. I am a FPS scrub at heart and have to basically learn a completly different type of combat. So thanks again for making this. I hope to get decent soon

man what bots do you fight in pvp

Doesn't help that people who try to win are outweighed by people who just want easy xp/tomes so they do barely anything.

Idk man I try to stay with the group but I immediately get pulled an cc’d to hell and back. I’ve never even seen a battle high on myself ever..idk I try because my friend plays it a lot but idk this shit is depressing how quickly I die

Frontlines CAN be enjoyable. ..If you've never played Guild Wars 2's World Versus World. Or AvH WoW. Or Black Desert's Guild vs Guild. Or Mabinogi's Castle War. Or Runescape Clan Wars. Or Archeage. Or Ultima Online. Or well, really any other game that didn't revamp their core system four different times? I hate being skeptical but it still isn't fun from relaunch to now. Hell, even Hamlet Defense from 1.0 was still a more moment to moment engagement experience and that was PvE.

Frontline PvP is a lot of lights flashing and then you walk your tank back wondering what you're doing there besides being target practice.

I don't like PvP in almost any MMO, but this is so hars to understand I don't even know what kills me. A tank who just dies because 3 lights flashed while still on the mount is just not an aspect of gameplay I find worth my time. Other than I need 10k more marks for a hairstyle, never touching it again and I'll be happier for it.

I like how you can just dash in like that as blm, lol. Sometimes you get really inept opponent that doesn't pull you in the moment you are in range.

You forgot the most important information.

If you're playing ranged, and you wonder why it seems like you hit like a wet noddle. That's because of the poor balance of tanks and melee getting +10% damage and 60% damage reduction. The +10% damage exists to compensate for melee getting the 60% damage reduction. And this is the retarded "balance" that SE and Yoshi P. allow.

Melee dps classes should have 40% damage reduction, at most. Which would allow them to get rid of the +10% damage.

Incredible video, I've been playing the mode casually for almost 2 years and this answered basically every question I've had about it.

another banger, sir

We love to see Calm returning

Back from the grave.

Very informative video as always, Calm! The thing I most hope new PVPers will take away from it is the tip to always try to angle to where you have an escape route ready to go. Oh, and the concept of pinching, too :D

Just when I think I have decent pvp knowledge, you blow my mind with the mobility skill fall damage trick.

Lots of info, great video! o7 I like how you talk about objective priority and how to rotate in each of the maps as the match progresses.
