What's the most OP class in PVP?

[Vkhani12345]

And why is it dragoon

[Silamon]

In my limited number of duels, samurai and warrior seemed very strong.

Dark knight (the class I was playing most, and I dueled a few other players who were dark knights) seemed rather underwhelming.
Did not duel a dragoon though.

[Jethro]

They seem all pretty much on the same level even though SAM hardcounters WAR

[Judeo-communism]

Uhh it's NIN obviously, auto KO anyone below 50% health, infinitely resets.

[causality]

In order of most broken to balanced
NIN==SAM>WHM>SMN>everything else is fairly balanced.

[Dagungus]

None.
If you play the strongest class you will get focused.
If you play the weakest class, you will get destroyed.
Just play whatever you enjoy, cause they all suck equally. Especially warrior, overtuned crap.

You can't get focused as NIN, you can teleport away and be invisible and it forces target on someone else so you're invincible. Just purify any CC and kill with LB, EZ. Also, NIN destroys WAR.

Ninjas are for asocial clowns that only care about winning.

I mean, Isn't that point of PvP to win @Allie?

[Raansu]

The way pvp is designed literally all the jobs are broken in their own way.

SAM and DRG are clearly the top and that's why basically every match has them.

Some will say NIN but as a NIN player I can say they are so wrong lol.

They say it cause the LB has a chance to insta kill when an opponent is under 50% HP, but what they don't mention is the animation takes a bit of time and the opponent has full ability to heal, be healed or guard up essentially wasting your LB unless you or your team kills that person in the next 5 seconds which will give the LB back but only for 10 seconds to which you have to hope someone else gets low enough to use it on them.

I've just had Chainsaw done to me with 60 THOUSAND damage (no crit no dh), so somewhere between Machinist/Dragoon/War there must be heavy nerfs and hopefully soon. Sam rqequires too much setup anyway

[Lumone]

WAR WHM SGE DRG SAM RDM > everything else

from 200 matches from bronze to crystal

Anything that deals % dmg destroys WAR

SAM not even a contest, NIN would be a distant second. On demand hard CC, insane damage, gap closer and ridic LB. I don't see any issues with any other jobs being OP, a few needs some buffs/QoL like MCH; the heat stacks need a ui element because they are really hard to track and drop of so quickly you can't reliably count shots. Either that or Overheat needs to be able to be activated manually, because as it is now I don't even notice that it is active 90% of the time. BLM needs their instacasts disconnected from their gapcloser because it makes it obnoxious to use. You either have to jump in and get blasted or you have to clear target, use it for the instacast procs then retarget. It feels horrendous to use. Just add tri/duo cast as a cooldown.

I really don't get how people are complaining about WHM. They have 2 charge limited ST heal that barely does 30%, a basically useless barrier/dam reduction and an AoE heal that requires you to be in melee range. Hell, even the SMN barrier feels more impactful that the WHM one. The only thing that is powerful is their LB and only if you target it to exactly the right enemy. If I had to complain about something other than SAM/NIN in PvP WHM wouldn't even be in the top 5, I find DNC more annoying to deal with than WHM with their stupid charm and bind.

Chainsaw has a 3% chance to instakill, you got super unlucky. On the whole MCH damage is pretty pitful outside of buffed Drill/Chainsaw/AA. And their heavy hitters are not controllable so if they can't safely close and are on Bioblaster they are basically SoL since you have to get in close to use it. MCH really need some QoL improvements in PvP. The only thing they have going for them is the killshot LB on targets at sub-60% HP. They have no CC, not escape, no gapcloser, and their damage doesn't rate being so limited.

I'm the only one playing PLD in pvp, lol.
