FFXIV PVP Discussion Thread: HAHAH SLEEP!

[solracht]

I emoted at a Neon Sea when his LB missed. Was that you? Like 30min ago

That was a very fun match for the adders : <

I've won most of my matches today, can't complain

[miokomioko]

I'm proud of my shitty Twin Adders. Most of my matches last night were impressive comebacks after starting with ~16 people and being 300~400 points behind.

[Neon_Sea]

Oh lol it might of been, wonder why I can't see the names of people when I play.

[solracht]

You can only see names if you emote

[Seravi Edalborez]

If you have a combat window for "Enemy readies X" like some people have, this will also show other peoples' names when they use stuff (Mister Potatohead uses Maim).

[Kaixin]

Nothing.

Is more satisfying that Holmgang-ing someone who just popped sprint to make a getaway and smashing their face in.

Excuse me, but consider the following:

I'm defending our point solo.
I 1v1 a dragoon who's trying to backdoor.
He tries again.
I'm winning the rematch.
He uses LB on me.
I holmgang his LB and mercy stroke him to death.
He can't release for 10 seconds while I do the harlem shake on his body.

I'm sitting here at work fucking amped to do more pvp now. I'm just going to throw a chain at the next motherfucker who approaches my desk

As awesome as that worked out, you generally don't get the full satisfaction out of a Holmgang unless you're incorporating the bind effect.

A PLD could have done the same thing with Hallowed, thus, it is not a true Holmgang moment.

[Seravi Edalborez]

That and, what DRG blows LB on a tank. Also not sure if it's possible to Holmgang that on reaction since it has like a 50 frame startup, unless the "survive at 1 HP" takes precedence. I would instead go for wakeup DP and FADC into super.

[Korialstrasz]

There's a (premade?) from Maelstrom that is just stacking healers on flags in a few of the recent matches I've been in. You can't kill them, and most people that do try to take it are retarded and stand just outside of the circle instead of at least trying to out number them to capture it. It's funny because nothing short of the hand of god himself reaching out of the sky and smacking them down can do a fucking thing about it.

[Tobi]

So for posterity's sake

Turning a base/outpost from Neutral to Your faction: +10 points
Killing a player: +5?
Killing(majority damage) a Drone: +20 points (6 spawns at a time)
Killing(majority damage) a Node: +200 points
Bonus for holding bases/outposts: Depends on how many
1: 1/tick
2: 2/tick
3: 4/tick
4: 6/tick
5: ?
6?!: ?

Actually, after paying more attention, adder were just now getting 8 a tick for 4 bases. The next time I see someone with 4, I'll try to reconfirm, but this was what I was seeing for a few ticks at the time they did have 4.

[Seravi Edalborez]

This would be really convoluted if the specific base determined points (like hostile outposts give more).

[Kaixin]

dawg it's possible because i did it.

step 1) blast shot
step 2) ???

edit: I know a couple of blms who would love to go up against this strat

[Neon_Sea]

A funny thought popped into my head when thinking of a heavy heal team. Run monk, pop PB and arm of the destroyer...profit

[BerenTebogo]

Fey Covenant + Sacred Soil + Whispering Dawn + BLMs die to like 3 EDs + 3 Ruin 2s.

At the time I believe they had their OP, Manor, Markets, and Flame Outpost, either that or they had our OP, but one of those for sure.

Friend is saying the longer you hold a flag, the more points it generates.

[Seravi Edalborez]

That's pretty interesting. I don't WAR much so dumb question: when you're down hanging at 1 HP, do you still take "full" damage but just not drop below 1? Would mean that Holmgang actually defies the snapshot animation time rules.

[OWS_Tonx]

Yeah, you still take full damage you just won't drop past 1 HP
