(I post this in amusement since alot of folks I know BS. No need for anyone to get offended or too serious..)
 
not quite sure what you are asking?
 
He's talking about head hunting.

1. Tarutaru
 
well, uh

1. Dark Knight

2. Pld

3. Thief

4. Monk

5. Blue Mage


but this seems more of a GD thread since if it had some sort of discussion, pvp would not be endgame correct?
 
Assuming you are referring to who you enjoy targeting most...

The few Pups that I've seen are actually quite evasive with an evasion setup when it comes to Ballista, and their Automaton's flash stacked ontop of that just adds to the constant whiff fest. So... I tend to stray away from them, unless confronted by one for a 1v1.

As for targets I would have to say..

For official matches(which don't happen quite as often as they used to 2 years ago)
60 cap:

1. Idiots that run into a group of your teammates thinking they can take on the world.

2. Strictly speaking about actually targeting someone; Anything without shadows would be my first priority(which is usually anyone's when it comes to 60 cap, since it's basically /nin or gtfo)

3. People in low hp

4. Job wise: Dark Knights / Samurai / Dragoon / Paladin(for tp) / Rangers(Also fun to one shot) / Monk

5. Job wise: Black Mages - Preferably Taru so you can easily one-shot them, either way they won't be lasting long unless they catch you with a sleepga, cast gravity on you, and run away. In which case you'll most likely be taking it up the ass by 10+ people very shortly. It will be a very unpleasant, very unenjoyable experience.

6. Anything else that's squishy and/or fun to kill, last on my list would be Rdm since they're just plain boring to 1v1, their ice spikes are always a pain in the ass, and in an official match they will usually just diaga/gravity you and leave you to the hungry melee.
 
hmm something I should add as a favorite prey of pvp


When I pvp someone like darsha I usually sub /blu most of the time since he has a lot of 2handed jobs and heavy hitters, usually 2handed jobs give me the most trouble such as anything /sam since they can deal a lot of damage in a short amount of time

Ws > meditate> a few hits > ws again.

But something that is fun to fight is a ninja, thief, or a riddil war, with those multihit weapons....cocoon, phalanx, buffs and they pretty much can't do damage and not to mention ice spike fodder(read: they kill themselves to death)
 
I like killing adaberk drk's, that go in there thinking their gear will make them good, then you give them an assraping.

No specific job I like to kill, just everyone.

Hahaha, I agree.
 
I miss killing Espio. What a trashtalker.

Favorite job to kill? Blue Mage

Favorite Job to ballista on? Warrior for 75 probably, 60 cap is a whole nother ball o wax.
 
people say blue is hard to kill in pvp...the trick is to keep them far away from you lol and you'll avoid the brunt of it
 
From back in the day... anyone seen this? This fight must have taken forEVER:

 
I stopped doing ballista a long time ago.
It was less about the fact that I tended to die a lot, and more how every match degraded into a shoutfest on who sucks and who's being cheap.
I did one during JP times though. Was solid.

It helps to do that, but everyone that tries that on me still dies, so go for it ^^

(Paladins and red mage can kill me, but they are ghey jobs in 1v1)
 
I love a good pld/rdm 1v1 against my drk
 
PLD/RDM. NIN/DNC is hot, too
 
Whens the best time to try and ballista? Every time I try to do it lately I'm the only one in the zone.

That would be most gratifying, lol.
 
If Brolly or Khid is there for some reason, they're target number one. I actually like fighting an enemy Rdm for a good 20 minutes - before someone else jumps in because we're taking so long. I agree with it being less stressful during JP times in its own way, heck, I still wave to a jp pld/nin that vorpal'd me a good 4 times...

On this server around the 11CST-onward timezones

the jp primetime is when it's best to fight someone, I'm a little sad that on the NA/EU side for Quetzy it's empty and no one likes to do capped matches anymore=/


Darsha told me that the big ballista fanatics on quetzy just got together and moved to a different server, not sure which though.


Ice: Yeah also a favorite target is people with the pimp gear I try to fight or people that like to whore /nin. I have a lot of favorite targets...just depends on the person too lol.


Nei: We do need a rematch
