PvP, casts and newman won't dominate

[jayster]

I'v seen fortetechers and fortegunners run through levels using nothing but killer shot and megid and not 1hit ko a single enemy the whole mission. So the odds of being 1 hit ko'd, especially on the first shot in a PvP will probably be very unprobable. Hopefully PvP if it ever comes out will not be dominated by a single race, or photon art I should say.

It all depends on how PvP is implemented (if it is). If rangers can hit for 500 + freeze with rifles, then it would be hard to kill them. We don't know if a PvP system is actually being planned yet, unless I'm wrong, so it is possible to say that <Instert race/class> will be the best. The truth of these statements rely mostly on speculation.

PVP never interested me in ffxi, but I think it would be pretty damn awesome in psu.

true but rangers also shoot at monsters without armor, unit boosters and a brain to dodge stuff.

You just got this update. I highly doubt anyone managed to get killer shot or megid to level 21 in a little over a day. After 21, they are at their most dangerous, with Killer shot having incapacitation Lv4 and Megid with Incapacitate lv3. That's when you should be afraid if PVP ever comes to light.

Yes they will...

Casts = Rifle + freeze shot or any other shot for that matter = pwn you from long distance.
Newmans/forces = Pwn your ass with diga... 1k+ dammage FTW?

Cause Diga flies at like, lightspeed.

While I like the idea of PvP I don't know if ST would be able to implemtent it correctly. I remember trying to combo someone in PSO on GC and they fell down after one hit. Same thing if I shot them. And being a cast once I was out of mates I got obliterated. Hopefully they'll make an effort to balance things this time around(should PvP happen at all).

If pvp gets implemented in the expansion, I think they should also throw in some evasive moves like a roll or something for a quick dodge or a pa that can act as a reflect/shield.

Thats were armors comes in.

Why don't I like the way this is worded?

Man.. I can see it now. E-Peen contests out of this world.

*Thumbs down*
