Frontline General

[Lyall]

I know they were playing like garbage, and I know it won't happen again, but jesus christ I managed to out-kill and out-DPS a bard and a summoner yesterday in 8v8v8 Slaughter on my paladin.

Also, my infinite thanks to people who stand near cliffs for easy push-KOs.

That's cool. 90minutes to get into a match, and then for the entire duration, we're down (across all three parties) about seven or eight people. It never filled those slots in. What in the actual fuck is up with SE's algorithm?

[Raen Ryong]

The PvP is dying off faster than it ever has before simply due to matches like in that video this game's PvP is completely dead and ruined now.

[kisada]

pvp was dead and ruined ever since they introduced matchmaking to wolves den.

FL is a fucking farce. if i didn't detest dungeons or revel in crushing my enemies i wouldn't touch it.

TIL if you don't kill the Interceptor Node it kills everyone standing on the hexagons LOL

I purposely don't attack it just to see that shit; it's so hilarious every time. If I recall, it also despawns if that happens, and no one gets the points it would've given.

Yeah, that's true, which makes it even more hilarious

Time to eat coordinated Cometeors 0.5 seconds slower now, unless they made it slower than even fixed skyshard casting time. Also, I forgot to wave you guys in that garuda not long

Also wish I could delay my frontline challenge log to do it at a higher rank, but oh well, can do it with wolves den at least. Really want my rank44 back now, I kinda feel like I'ma just stay with adders from now on.

Nothing wrong with the algorithm, no one is doing Frontlines I'd wager. It should get better in the coming weeks.

They also fixed that Cometeor shit now, so hopefully it deters people from making majority BLM/SMN parties, lol.

[Avarice]

Even with Cometeor gone (thank god), I doubt that's going to decrease the number of people playing BLM. Battle Fever, and Damage Up x2 has me doing crit Blizzard III's coming out of AF3 for nearly 1500. And even without the Battle High/Fever, being able to nuke from a distance will always have an advantage.

[kisada]

yeah the lb nerf isn't that bad to begin with. even if it were, blm and smn still have a huge advantage in this mode.

[Moridam]

yeah after a couple of matches, the caster LB nerf really doesn't seem like a big deal. as long as you have 2-3 people to coordinate with, even without instant cast it's still crazy good.

[Tobi]

Yea, pretty much, dunno why people were expecting some huge magical nerf to this, results still gonna be the same, so enjoy those continious cometeors up your ass. The new mode will always be ass until they change how it works, only thing you can do at this point is try to deal with it.

Finally experimented with random idea I had with decent results most times.

Start game as WAR
Put Defiance up during pregame.
Get on chocobo.
Timer hits, run to springboard.
Jump off chocobo right before you hit it
Land while spamming sprint to set it off immediately
Run straight at another team coming up the top of the ramp while popping all cooldowns
Hit AOE Knockback/Stun and knock some people off to your side (backwards hits the railing at the top of the stairs, you aim to hit a few off the area to the immediate side of the top of the stairs)

Surviving pretty well to get back to my team too with people stunned (both ingame and IRL) and Defiance/cooldowns up too.

I'm going to keep working on this idea, it has major potential. Need to see how it works with multiple WARs though, even better potential possibly??

I've been trying a similar thing with paladin and hitting invincible right on the way into the waves, so to speak. Being able to collide with multiple people should be able to just shove a big portion of folks right off of the edge as soon as they land.

[AoE]

Could probably get a SCH to back you up as well just as long as they don't run in first.

[Kiarax]

I was dicking around with a VIT MNK build with a SCH babysitter, just replace throwing people off a cliff with one shotting people with LB, lol. Pop Fetter Ward, charge in, hit someone a couple times, stun and LB to one shot and then run the fuck away. Actually went not terribly but the gimped damage outside of LB (which still does full damage with VIT spec) really hurt whilst building meter, if you can get battle high going though it has a decent bit of potential, especially for sniping enemy high/fever targets for big points. I'm sure with a good healer dedicated to babysitting you you could do the same thing with a STR build anyway though, but having 30 VIT and full VIT accessories made me tanky as fuck, especially with Fists of Earth up.

[Lucavi]

Hey Kiarax.

Eat a dick.

Now come find me in FL so we can fite.
