I am almost positive we're getting CC breaks. The question will be what their timer is because that's going to either make or break how tolerable Sleep is. If it's even 1min timer, you can break the 30s sleep and just suffer 15>7 + whatever else they have in the way of Stun/Bind/Heavy. ~35% sleep uptime is a lot more bearable than ~95%. Universally halving duration of sleep (15>7>3) for PvP would also not be a terrible idea, but halving all CC debuffs in general is a lazy kneejerk imo.

Which will admittedly just push focus to "Sleep + something else" but at least you can pretend you're doing something.

Who needs CC breaks when you have POISON POTS LIKE XI. Amirite, guys?

DoTs don't work that way in this game.

**Lucavi** · 2013-12-09 10:55

Don't spoil my dreams of making blms useless in PVP again, Rocl. I'm already preparing my stock of lethe waters and sleeping pots.

**Seravi Edalborez** · 2013-12-09 10:55

Smelling Salts are on a 1m30s timer for NQs. If they're allowing regular meds in PvP.

Hell if they are allowing regular meds, Alchemists start your engines.

**Lucavi** · 2013-12-09 10:57

They -did- say that Alchemists are going to be very useful in PVP.

**cassiraa** · 2013-12-09 11:10

I hope my alchemist is useful in PVP... I want to play a battle-crafter.

**Kaslo** · 2013-12-09 11:20

So I've been trying to place it, and maybe I'm just blanking, but is this suppose to be a classic FF villian:

Spoiler: show

**Voyage1970** · 2013-12-09 11:21

Don't forget they mentioned specific PVP-centric recipes for crafters too. Wouldn't be surprised to see Morale based food and special PVP only pots for Alchemy to craft.

Also I've been online, why haven't you pinged me, Kaslo? D:

EDIT: Damn you Rocl!

**Zzsark** · 2013-12-09 11:24

They already mentioned a PvP specific potion that restores TP didn't they?

**Kaslo** · 2013-12-09 11:24

Everytime I've looked you haven't been on. Then I forget... I should be on Tuesday night (have a work meeting 2 hours away tonight)

Might be true for WoW since they have such a vast PVP content, but FFXIV have jack shit for PVP content.

People played only for PvP in TERA for months when all there was was going outside town and killing each other. This game will actually have a queue system.

There are rumors of a gunman shooting foes and allies with bizarre concoctions.

Yes.

**Alkar** · 2013-12-09 16:23

CC breaks were also confirmed a while ago.

**Argantes** · 2013-12-09 20:18

I just wonder how sprint will work in PVP.
Especially in stuff like CTF.

**Kononeko** · 2013-12-09 23:52

Is there going to be CTF though it was all team death match?
