PLD is just so tanky in pvp that whenever there is a PLD everyone ignore it and focuses on the others since focusing on PLD is either you can gang and stunlock it to death or the rest of your party died by others because you and your team tunnel vision on the PLD
The best way to deal with a Paladin is to force guard, focus on someone else, and when they rush over to save their friend, you drop AoE attacks. They horribly instadie from taking double damage, and you set back their limit break by 20 seconds.
the idea of paladin now is that you ignore it entirely and only kill the paladin when he is alone, when he use cover on someone you immediately switch target. paladin is no longer a tank but more like a healer
@@kizuna2225 yeah i know i wish it was the panic button it should be sadly at least in frontlines its almost useless sometimes i can go from full health to dead in a second or two
How it feels to play against a paladin team: "Ooh boy I can't wait to get into a PvP match and earn all that amazing glam!!" *Stunned* *Slept* *Uses cleanse* *Stunned* *Bind* *Silenced* *dies* "..."
Except you forgot the part where since you take the damage meant for the player, they get you 1-shotted by the samurai by striking during LB prep, or the part where they walk into a hazard that can delete anyone.. Or the part where them stopping to use a potion actually gets you killed because they get whaled on by like 3 other enemies simply because they all saw him chugging a potion at 1% hp.
I had a monk who was getting blown up so I covered them and immediately died to being stunned in the Bahamut/whm lbs that got dropped simultaneously. Taking the damage from Bahamut twice doesn’t go well, I tell ya hwat.
The trick is to never cover a player without having Guard, Hallowed Ground, or Purify+Shelltron up. Doing so is a great way to turn one guarenteed death into two, and unless they're carrying, maintaining your own limit break generation (as Paladin limit break can single-handedly stuff pushes) is probably better than covering Johnny Two Fingers that hasn't seemed to have figured out how Recuperate works yet.
There should be a giant indicator showing for the ally that he/she is being guarded! That would save lives and time. I cant macro properly and have a Call Out Covering Macro on controller! X_x And if youre being guarded for the love of all that is holy go hide behind a wall or walk away from me a good couple steps so I dont absorb double aoe dmg! I try to slowly distance myself under the shield. But once my shield is down I will pop like a pimple if we are too close to each other. Also please dont run away from me if I guarded you. X_x if i guard you I will most likely immediately use shield. So if you run away, I just wasted a guard and my shield. See you all on the battlefield! :)
@@Doublejho Half the time I feel like I paint a target on my back, literally the only time the entirety of the other alliances jump me is when im on black mage. People are pretty scared of the potency, it seems.
imagine guard working with all aliance memebers - instantly pal become viable in frontlines without constantly trying to buff its damage with little bits, I hate the devs - they can't figure buffing jobs abilities specificly for mass pvp (frontlines)
If they unscrew the netcode they've been working with for years, and apply damage falloff when attacking over 5 targets, both Crystalline Conflict and Frontlines would be considerably more fun to play.
... and then they get blown over by a stiff breeze. Hence why you want the friendly Paladin to cover them, and when they run away from the singular thing keeping them out of the grave, it's pretty painful to watch.
That was me yesterday. Jumping and leaping and soaring, then a paladin waltzed in and took my punk card 😭
Deserved, fuking dragoons
Your battle high status has been revoked!!! >:D
lol paladin was like "Alright no more from you" or as i say when i pvp on pally "stop the doing of the stuff!"
Paladin being a walking fortress that's best only fought when outnumbered is weirdly lore accurate lol

By the time you kill that Paladin the main fight is on the other side of the map lol.
This was me against my friend, as a reaper the other day.
PLD stunned me into oblivion. I couldn't even get out any damage. 😅

Can confirm I pop my invuln LB on 1hp to maximise my annoying presence.
wish it worked like that i use my lb and STILL die while its active.
@@Wellaaron ff14 is notorious with its delays on invulns, gotta use it a few moments before you think u gonna die
@@kizuna2225 yeah i know i wish it was the panic button it should be sadly at least in frontlines its almost useless sometimes i can go from full health to dead in a second or two
@@Wellaaron annoying part about it is you will die but the inv will still go on cd
@@kizuna2225 yeah fr good bye lb :/

All controller/auto-target players feel this.
I can't attest to pvp, but for the dragoon, that's pretty much pve content too.
chains allday.......

You forgot the part where a black mage deletes your entire team in three casts.
Hehe, Flare go KABOOM
You spelled samurai wrong 😂😂
if only, sometimes it feels impossible to kill anyone fast enough

@@Xemvii it's very disruptive but it's also an easy problem to get rid of
Wait so Im not supposed to cover the DRG? I jus wanna keep dem safe :(
Hey, eventually one will figure out they're currently invincible and stop running away from the thing keeping them alive.
ignore it and it does nothing.
I only pally in pvp
im a paladin and just finished a game of crystaline conflict lol
PLD is that raid mate who wants to be haha funny and drag you into an auto/tankbuster with them 😂

goddamn i wish the pvp in ffxiv wasnt so godamn bad
All they need to do is remove Dark Knight's sucking ability, and it'll be way better. That aoe slow/pull combod with DRG/SMN/AST is game breaking.
If they unscrew the netcode they've been working with for years, and apply damage falloff when attacking over 5 targets, both Crystalline Conflict and Frontlines would be considerably more fun to play.
Clearly you're not playing right, it's the other way around usually. DRG destroys.
