Finally on break from running PvP events...been running around since June with two different leagues and the Ren Faire 😅
Been able to sit down and think for once and I've got two clear goals for next year:
1) Make enough moolah to go to Gateway Fate
2) Run a 100 competitor tournament in #ffxiv

Best Paladin play from the #ffxiv Community Cup has to go to Atreus Auditore -- saving his bard from a THREE LB combo!
I specifically complained about this in the EU CCCC, but it looks like Brian Ricardo was paying attention lol
