Thoughts on the new PvP Grand Battle

Also, I am getting the hang of it more so than my first go at it, but its annoying to have to turn off magic guard around bams just to survive.
However, it's not that fun to 1-2 hit people, with the exception of Bams and Phantoms.

Look at it this way: without Magic Guard, you turn into a pirate. They have to deal with getting 1 shot by everyone while you only have to worry about it against one class in the entire game.

Isn't that depressing? :/
