FFXIV 6.18 Job changes Buff Tanks, Ranged DPS In PVP; Season Rewards
It’s never been a better moment to join competitive multiplayer in Final Fantasy XIV. The FFXIV 618 Job changes are a great way to balance out PVP. We have all the details about how PVP was adjusted thanks to the full HTMLXIV 6.18 patch notes. This includes tweaks to Frontline as well as the new season of Crystalline Conflict.
Patch 6.1 changed the way Jobs worked in PVP. However, it needed additional balancing. We saw this in 6.11 as well as 6.11a. Surprisingly FFXIV 6.18 includes many more adjustments. Most of these are potency tweaks. Depending on the Job you are using in PVP, there are some important changes you should be aware of.
