[Heman]

Hello,


I am WAR75/NIN37 and SAM/RNG37 and have been questing, helping and all kinds of social activity. until I decided to give Ballista a try and I liked it except the fact that fights last a short time. I one sidewindered a Taru dead or one Rampaged afew people to death. I believe the last update nerfing the multihit WSs is to give fights and fighters without /NIN or multihit weapons a longer balanced fight. Still I would enjoy longer fights instead of one shot kills. during my Ballista experiences I saw PLDs looking to pick a fight and often me thinking "oh thers a PLD lets find a taru or someting else". I noticed I'd stay away from MNKs, PLDs and BLMs. MNKs cause I got killed by them fairly easy when I was SAM/RNG, BLMs cause I saw their mass destructioin and PLDs cause the few times I engaged a PLD I did little damage and felt it was a losing battle due to his team running towards me.


The Paladins I've seen were wearing their AF or afew other DD gear and jewerly but never did I see one wearing Homam set, maybe people is still working on retrieving full sets from Limbus. The way I see PLD/NIN with full Homam set (127MP, 127HP, 32ACC, 12%Haste), macroed STR jewelry and STR/ATT gear for weapon skills, PLDs natural high DEF and VIT, macroed DEF/VIT with latent effects jewelry, PLDs natural MP and high HP, Joyeuse and ATT swrd (forgot name), macroed O hat and Meat kabobs is someting truely unique and I see the PLD/NIN beating any melee one on one. I see the PLD curing himself to full health at least 3 times and survive the most lethal buffed WS of DRKs, WARs or MNKs, PLD would have access to blind, shadows and more shadows combined with Cure I see the PLD breaking anyone's heart. and at the same time chipping the life of the opponent away with Joyeuse and Sword. The only problem I see is a Samurai's 2 hr or Idk how good is a DRK's sleepII. Please reply with your toughts on this, how do you see this working or not working. what am I missing here? again I am not a PLD but planning on it. this is theory and asking you in a humble way please reply in the same manner. Thank you.

well the homam gear is pretty sweet, it would kick your ass in 1 vs 1, but ballista is usually like many vs many, if u got more then 1 people hitting on you, to cure without getting interupted is near impossible.

In ballista you WILL die, but i think the homam gear is freaking good for PLD yes

and the sword your looking for is Company Sword, required your in a full PT when your doing this

First of all from your post i can conclude that you are not 75 and second of all whenever you change equip besides bolts/arrows you get a penalty.

Maybe I'm missing something.

For an actual response though, Homam gear deffinately is awesomeness in a box, but IMO PLD/RDM is better in uncapped. Phalanx, stoneskin, blink, that + PLD def and maybe a sentinel is what makes people lay off Pally.

RandomMonk hits LolzPally for 0 Dmg
RandomMonk hits LolzPally for 0 Dmg
RandomMonk counters LolzPally's attack. LolzPally is hit for 0 Dmg.
RandomMonk uses Asuran Fists.
LolzPally takes 12 Dmg.
LolzPally: Lolz, I'm a Pally!

Thats basically what goes down.

Some people don't update thier KI info(I know I didn't for abit) but if you actually read his post you could tell he has NEVER done ballista or done any Apollyon to even understand what Homam is.

Hello,


It's Heman again. I have been reading more about PLD/NIN in PvP and found out more. Let me start by mentioning when I did Ballista I never switched gears or neither did I know there is a penalty for doing so. Squirrels, I don't got to prove you anyting but here it is, I started playing in Leviathan as Samurai reached lvl75 and one day quit for real life issues. I missed FF so much I came back months later to your server Siren if you don't belive me look me up, I am War74/Nin (delvled in Dynamis). I do dynamis with Dynamismarines and belong to Sky ls Zodiac.



Well going back to PLD, I have read it is a strong job but it is penetrable. I love the Homam set and will eventually get it but not for PLD but for DRK now. I was reading a post of a DRK beating a PLD by draining its MP and sucking life aswell with casts and bolts and damage. a DRK/RDM with cures, sleep and damage to be exact. I did Ballista long time ago and only some 4 or 5 times so therefore I may ignore many aspects or details. but now with Brennen and Balllista I want to get more into the PvP. sounds like a lot of fun with less rules or LsLiga. Oh and the reason I wanted PLD for PvP is cause I like it first of all and beacuse I'm analyzing who puts the Homam to best use in PvP. Well thanks again and Squirrels don't waste too much time on me, this post was about PLD in Ballista but now I'm going DRK @25. again don't believe me? look me up in Siren, my name is Ire. If anyone has done PvP as PLD please share your experiences here. Thanks.

If your 75 with two jobs how did you not know that switching weapon's caused you to lose TP. off topic how do you enter ballista anyway i have tryed but cant find out how.

[Heman]

Hello,


I only particiated in Ballista three or four times and I never switched gears in there as I would normally do in an xp party. by gears I mean armor and jewelry, of course being 75 twice I know you lose tp by switching weapons. but what I didn't know is that in Ballista theres a penalty for even changing armor and jewelry gear. that's what I read. common people quit trying to analyze me or my ingame character and focus on the topic. It's all good anyways, I have read more and soon will enter Brennen as War. on the meantime I have decided to lvl DRK. The idea of DRK/RDM with the option of DRK/SAM in PvP is so exciting, can't wait. Laters.


Ballista requires a license that you get by talking to an npc in your hometown then you got to travel to the other cities for more npc talk, idk the details. sorry forgot. I had got the info from somepage.com I believe.

i saw this Pld/whm own ppl in 60 one day, he fought a drk, drk couldnt keep taking his mp for silence, it was very funny, pld posioned him self, fully buffed. But heres the kicker. He flash drk, ds, dkr stuns him from using cure 4, Pld stuned, pld cast Cure 4 again he is fully Healed. redies Spirits Whitin.

LOL Drk is defeated by Pld. think the drk was /nin for the whole rampage thingy. didnt seem to help him out here. But yea Plds are tough to kill

[Spamurai]

Equiped right pld should be able to take down any melee job (1on1). Though it all depends on skill.
Drk/rdm? IMO Drk/sam is the way to go. Hell.. any DD with /sam is awesome.

[ragingtoxin]

DRK/SAM with Guillotine for the silence effect would probably be able to take out a PLD, given enough luck.

[mrkrabs]

Hmmm i didnt think changing ammunition got you a penalty in ballista.....

[Boshi]

dusk hands are better than homam for ballista <.<

Yeah, running slower and not being able to catch people who run is really badass.
