Shorter matches, and more murder.

If the adjustments made to classes for PvP in Final Fantasy XIV’s Patch 5.3 are any indication, Yoshi-P and team appear eager to make PvP a snappier, more lethal experience. That means some tweaks have been made to Rival Wings, most notably to the warmachina. The Patch 5.3 Rival Wings Changes are listed below:
