FFXIV PVP Discussion Thread: HAHAH SLEEP!

[BerenTebogo]

Not underestimating MRD. Like I said, prior to FL it was all I pvped on.

I just feel safer / more resistant to gangbang on WAR and I find myself as #1 target very often when people are on their third attempt trying to tank my base after I've already racked up a bunch of kills.

MRD may do a little bit more damage, but I rarely queue solo. I dont need to SS myself when I have SCHs buffing me before I go scout.

Also I don't sprint much, once I've forced a healer to retreat beyond tomahawk range I'll burst down a nearby mage DPS real quick instead of chasing healer down.

SCHs have room for that? I've been running Cleric / Aero / Surecast / Swiftcast / Blizz2. I just change to WHM at beginning of the match to buff everyone once then that's it from me. I suppose I could drop Aero but I'd rather just tag along and Adlo-whore.

I've been building for crit > speed > whatever, but it's hard when PIE is on half the healer stuff. Also need to look into best VIT accs I can get that have crit / don't have parry or acc. Currently still using MND on right side and not sure if I should be.

Currently still using MND on right side and not sure if I should be.

I have seen a yolo tank-scholar bum rush a cap point, soak, then kite back while being supported by a mind healer who skulks around the back after everyone's tunnel vision'd on the tank-scholar. Fun stuff.

[BerenTebogo]

I play SCH as much as I play WAR in there because I'm convinced 3-4 SCH is 100% invincible and I use MND accs for clerics stance. Ive hit 60-70k damage on a few wins.

[Seravi Edalborez]

I joked about that with friends the other day.

"Ok, everyone find your Adlo buddy."

[Niiro]

Damage totals from SMN/SCH are more than a bit "inflated".

If I ran around on MRD using Fracture on every target my damage total would be much higher too but it wouldn't do much to actually help kill anyone.

[Lucavi]

I wonder if SE didnt have an auto-sort function on the post-game stats to keep people from focusing more on EPeen than objectives.

Either that or their programmers are leaving it out for us to have something to "loook forward to".

As much as I like trumping my numbers in FC chat, I'm waiting for the BG screenshot pissing contest to begin.

I got 9 kills one game (likely from a few very lucky Blast Shots) on BRD. What would be a high number?

[Jem]

You can put out ridiculous numbers if you're left unchecked on drones. There was a match where I looked stupidly good in stats when realistically I just got lucky. Took down 9 people in the initial forays before node due to being largely ignored then got drones completely alone for 2 entire pops after node death. So I had godlike stats but really I just burst down idiots at then stayed at drones for 5 mins and pew pewed them down til match end.

I also find you can inflate your figures by picking people off at drones/node instead of the drones and/or taking down escaping stragglers after their deaths. I always feel bad taking out the mounted people who don't even attempt to fight back because really you're doing them a favor by sending them back nearer bases. Most of the time harassing them heavied and not killing is more beneficial but of course that doesn't show up on your end game stats!

I saw a brd yesterday with 22 kills. Must have stolen a lot.

My personal best numbers off-hand:

Most kills: 11 (Blm)
Most healed: 806k (Whm) Shooting for 1mil when I get a fully in-house party.
Most caps: 7

I haven't kept track of most damage, but I'd wager somewhere around 110k on a lucky round where my blm was able to sit still for awhile and generate multiple TS/FS procs.

My high is 14. Usually I get 6-9 kills for 0-2 deaths and do 70-90k damage.

[Yufhi]

Don't think I saw it while scanning past few pages. How effective are those potions/food that gives debuff resistance?

[Evane]

Only if SE would replace morale on animal PvP armor with "Resist Status Effect+"

[Rollercoaster]

Highest I got was 16 kills on SMN, but that's probably due to DoTs.

Last match I BLM LB a bunch of people gathered around the center node, followed up with a Swiftcast + Flare and killed about 6 people or more. I feel like a monster.

[Tobi]

Saw this one SMN today dish out 229k damage, the power of dots I guess. 800k healing seems absurd, even when I'm mass healing and keeping everyone alive, I still only hit 300k+. Also, does LB count damage count towards your total damage dealt? I'd assume yes.

[Lucavi]

The biggest thing I could say about healing that much is to abuse the ever-loving fuck out of Medica II, keep your entire team near you at all times (no derps running off doing their own thing), and be engaged in a titanic battle that lasts no less than 12 minutes of the match. It was us Flames against the Adders fighting for Markets, and what started out as a simple 8v8 skirmish turned into an outright war with anywhere from 60-80% of the entire two teams duking it out. At one point the Maelstrom decided to be cheeky and run a single party into the middle of things. I'm not sure why everyone was fighting so hard over the markets.

Probably pride at that point.

I'm going on vacation for a week. I'm going to fucking miss frontlines. I'll see ya'll when I get back. There better be some new technology for me to steal from in here when I get back.

[Kicoe]

I was at 252k damage done on SMN while my alliance was facing a group with five healers at Markets or wherever, noone died on either side unless LB was up and that didn't even matter since Divine Breath. Damage like that largely depends on what setup you are fighting against.

[Pruviant]

Saw this when we won just now lol

[BerenTebogo]

Just landed an 11 kill, 51k damage, 8.8k healed FL on WAR. lol
