As a BRD main, it makes me really happy to see Drak genuinely enjoy playing BRD in CC. My motto is "u know ur try-harding when you use Repelling Shot on cooldown"
I never cared for the twister map. But its fun watching the entire enemy team at times just be incapable of taking down 1 well played tank. I had a match go well into 20 minutes of sudden death because the enemy team could not put me down. Its nice being able to hold the line ALONE long enough for my entire team to respawn and find their moment to re-engage to end the match
I love how in pvp STILL you are staying wholesome and respectful :) When i listen to my husband or male friends pvp, people would know what TOXIC really is XD
Pvp has absolutely never been my thing, I always felt it had a level of toxicity and also I am the antithesis of "competitive". However, this is the first time I've seen PvP in FFXIV and it actually looks really fun, might give it a try :o
Not gonna lie i love the new streamlined abilities for pvp now but CC immunity feels like utter crap. Purify works half the time and so you'll just be chained to death with stuns. Either way i still do have fun playing the new pvp
"You should never be taken out of a fight for more than 5 seconds". Laughs in WoW a game that has diminishing returns where 90% of every arena is spent avoiding cc, being cc'd, or setting up a cc chain. At least here I don't have to fight rmp.
You should add a "Current Song" thing so that when you're listening to music I can yoink it. I spent so much of this video going "WOW THAT'S GOOD WHAT IS IT" and trying to look it up lmao
Drak's reaction to the crystal scythe mirrors mine. The big stupid scythe ticks all my boxes required for it. It's big and stupid, thus I must have it.
I still don't know what to buy. I see wolf collar weapons but that 10k, and the big weapon 3k so that 13k which is a lot. I don't know about the LB animation outside of mch and rpr and rpr ug why no effect? I like mch weapon but two problems. Don't really use them for pve and the shb relic fits so well with blast charge.
The DRK crystal weapon might be one of the best weapons, alonside GNB and RPR. I bought the BLM one as well, coz there's a living eye for the staff ornament.
hey drak you have really good taste in music and id like to add what youre listening to to my ranked playlist, do you have a playlist already made somewhere i could check out?
I have been whinging about them to add this back into the game for at least two weeks now, it's mind blowing that they just said "Nah, take it out." Like what the fuck?
I like the way it is now, at start cc seemed pretty hard, but actually purify and guard vs cc has a good depth of decision making, the old way the trolls can just trigger the cc immune and all the good timed cc confirms, or the counterplays (like cc a MCH when use wildfire) will be gone, making the game more simple and in long-term probably boring
@@LeafDreams Maybe but it is strictly not fun with how actually weak purify is because you know what purify doesn't cure/prevent? Getting charmed by a dancer, getting polymorphed by a fucking white mage who has that on a 30 second cd. It's weak as shit and being stunned only to get stunned/heavied/silenced again after, what, five seconds of immunity (which if they have a WHM, may as well not exist) is just poor design. As someone who spent a week rubber banding in low gold only to slingshot into low plat because I got lucky with having more OP team comps, this is something that needs addressing fast and hopefully NOT when they release a new pvp update in, Gods help us, 7.1
@@varaffxiv2219 I agree with the WHM Polymorh, it's way too strong but Dancer is a LB, it kinda makes sense to work, since it doesn't do damage, but it's ultility, also the rangeds can just do a better spacing when a dancer is about to do that. and 5 secs is good enough to leave while having mp to heal and probably some defensive cd (not every job has it) what pvp actually need is more clear tells, like better sounds effects, and better effects around the character when CCed to know what debuff we have, and also for other stuff, like the MCH tools, have something around the character to know what they have, instead of just status buff. and the ranking is pretty in early stages I would say, you can climb really easily because it's just 2-4 consecutive wins and advance pretty easily to next level of rank, same for the tier (bronze to silver, silver to gold etc) and you can't at all go down a tier (diamond to plat for example), it should have better ranking system to determine better which rank we belong to, just playing the game non-stop you'll climb pretty fine as the time goes.
Drak, dear Drak, lord Drak, you need to teach me : how do you manage to target people so precisely on controler ?! I need your secret tech, it's unbearable over here O.O But man, i remember seeing your video looooooong ago of pvp (corey on warrior and jessy beating him with paladin) and that's the reason i joined pvp to begin with, and ended up playing it for hundreds of hours enjoying it. Glad to see you give it an other try and enjoying the new game mode ! Drak for Rank 1 Crystal !!! We believe !!!
The thing that’s really been helping me has been scrolling through the enemy list (I believe the default is hold down R1 and then up or down on D-pad). It can take a little getting used to, but with only five people and all of them having pretty clear job indicators it’s not a hard adjustment to make (but I also play healer so A) I’m kinda used to rapidly scrolling, and B) I probably spend more time scrolling through my own party than the enemy list in pvp…
@@zoaranasis29 Holy crap ... i've been playing for hundreds of hours pvp, and i never knew you could scroll enemy party list like allied party list 👀 I might need to give you all the credit for future victories if it works !!!!!
@@MrPistoleroGun lol, I’m glad I can help you! I’m super glad people have fun. As someone new-ish to playing pvp games and content in general, I’ve discovered I actually really like it, so having a pretty thriving pvp scene in the biggest time sync of my life (for better and worse) is something I’m super excited for!
I hope, one day, to face the legendary Firestone in a sniper's duel. My drill is the drill that will pierce the streamer!!! And Karina Laugh was a welcome surprise.
I can only imagine NEST playing Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel and getting in debates about what cards and effects are actually toxic or not, based each person's playstyle/preference...
For anyone wondering - there is a glitch for infinite cure 3 on WHM, 6s worth of stun every 60s, party wide stun with purgation, purify can’t protect you from the stuns Brd has silence to the wazoo and really annoying range in frontline RDM has 3 consecutive dots which pierce guard, aoe silence, stun, and an insane amount of aoe
The easy answer is, "completely different than how it was before 6.1" A longer answer is that they've changed PVP so that jobs are VERY streamlined, but in satisfying and unique ways (often different than their PVE versions). I think most jobs have 8 buttons at most (one or two might have 9?), so learning what your job does in PVP is fairly easy - and the main difficulty is figuring out when and where to use your skills.
I like casual mode a lot, even tried ranked for about a week, but i prefer just going in and not caring if i win or lose. I just recommend you try out a few Jobs and then work on actually getting good at the one you like, I took my AST main in there and haaaated it. WAR and BRD were really fun though. ^^ You will be rolling your eyes a lot because the player base is as dumb as a dungeon mob focusing the tank every time LOL.
To be fair: In this new pvp dynamic, healers don't spam pocket heal anymore, so focusing them is moot. Coming from a sage main, passive kardia heals and the haima shield from my gigalaser are the only healing im doing. Which isn't much. I'm basically the blm of healers in pvp 😂. (Stahp focusing me so I can pway the gaem pls 😅.) On the other hand: kill all white mages. they stole my lasers! P.S. toxic!
Bx (half eye + =x= face) maybe he is a super NEST fan and just wanted to show you that he really was good at pvp and that you know the old method of "hey is that a popular youtuber/streamer that i like a lot...maybe if i beat him he would notice me....."NOTICE ME SENPAI" and kept trying to target you.....so the real question is....did you notice him/her senpai ? kek
Yeah you're definitely toxic 😂, I am too in MMO PvP, but mainly because I am almost never on a winning team. Dark Souls PvP I'm nowhere near as toxic, I only get upset at 1 shot builds in Souls games
Have fun with PvP Drak, took me about a month to get all of them mounts and everything I wanted, definitely taking a break until the next season comes around lmao.
The pause with Scribble's laugh in the middle of the video was GOLDEN.
15:13 The most terrifying words to speak in FFXIV PVP.
"Where'd the Dragoon go?"
Followed immediately by "Where'd the Ninja go?"
*Literal, acidic venom dripping from Drak's lips, ripping through the ground like Alien Blood:* GUYS I'M NOT TOXIC
In that case I’d be venomous. :)
@@DrakGamestein fact checked for personal curiosity and you would also be acidic
"Even I can't take 5 guys at the same time"

"You know how I say FF players don't read? I'm included in that." As someone who plays both FFXIV and Yu-Gi-Oh, I felt this on a personal level.
As a BRD main, it makes me really happy to see Drak genuinely enjoy playing BRD in CC. My motto is "u know ur try-harding when you use Repelling Shot on cooldown"
11:36 Drak on video titles and 12:00 Scribble's laugh.
"I'm not toxic" he said, as he just finished baby talking to the enemy team with heavy metal music playing in the backround

Scribble's laugh is worth the thumbs up alone. Watching Drak get deleted is a bonus & realizes that stuns are stunning.
Still the goofy, lovable guy, thanks for making me laugh and smile, and for being a constant inspiration in my life 🌱

I love the music in the background.
Did anyone else notice the vein pop out more intensely in Drak's neck the more pvp he played?
This mans got pvp in his veins
Draks doing one thing right: Listening to the correct music to channel all that anger :D
As the guy who died at 14:49, I have to say that that way a great play, and a spectacular match. Thank you for the honorable fight.
The amount of times I got jumpscared on stream from the controller being slammed or dropped on the desk was amusing but traumatizing
Hey! That's my friends at 15:56!
Scribble's laugh is peak
Shoutout to Bwana in one of your matches. Underrated creator.
i liked " I wought like your blood plz, Thank you goodbye" that had me man.
Though to be fair, I've always sucked at pvp. Did I lose many times to get a dope archfiend armor set? Yes. Was it worth it? Yes.
May the scribble be bless 👏🏻👏🏻
"Even I can't take on 5 dudes at once" *music cuts*
You should add a "Current Song" thing so that when you're listening to music I can yoink it. I spent so much of this video going "WOW THAT'S GOOD WHAT IS IT" and trying to look it up lmao
Love the set up you have back there Drak
This was incredibly entertaining to watch!
So I need to see Jesse and/or Corey in PVP ASAP. I can see the master of cleaves monkey flipping into a pack right now all to Jesse's dismay. :)
Damn Overwatch 2 is looking amazing, all the new characters and maps are a really fresh breath of air
LOL they way he says "oh thats cute" to anyone jumping him gives me flash backs climbing to crystal cause I always said that as well
This is outstanding, I hope you do more of these lmao.
Bold of you to put evidence of ToS breaking on your main channel there Drak
Drak: "I'm not toxic!"
Drac: Since when?
Pvp video with some sick death metal background music. Drak, I really love your music taste !
Lol, yeah, it ain't toxic. It's just friendly killing camaraderie, that's all. Nothing wrong with that :3
God, I love Scribble 😂
Inside of every "regular wholesome streamer" is a toxic demon waiting to get out lol
need the playlist for this vid
Hay Drak. I met you in pvp once playing as Kirin Ebondark. I wasn't even mad that you kicked my ass. You were a MCH at the time.
gosh it's still weird to see jesseal
makes me happy it's still being used in streams as amateur as i was xP

Also yeah Drak is clearly not toxic. Might wanna work on the humility there though
Hot take; I miss CC immunity in old PVP (after you get CC’d, you’d get a 10 sec buff that protects against that type of CC)
I'm saying. I'm like why can't they fix purify
