PVP against high ping players?

So ill just explain I’m not good at PVP and I’m only lvl 27 so still new to new world (35 hours at the moment) so anyway I’m vs a higher level player and honestly felt like being a gremlin with a musket shooting at people from the rocks cause why not.

Anyway the guy managed to find a way up and kill me which is fine. What I’m confused with is how my Cyclone ability which does a slow and a push back only applied the slow but no push back? Then when i do a sweep which is a knock down i get the hit sound plus the little hit marker but it does nothing and he rolls away? I know there is GRIT which is a white glow but I couldn’t see any from of GRIT on his player model. I’m playing on an Australian server with low ping ( I live in Australia) just for clarity sake

Any information on how this happens and if its common would be nice.

If I’m missing any important details about PVP or something and lack knowledge let me know as I am no way claiming to be good or fully understand PVP in this game as I mostly play PVE and enjoy taking my time

Side note, the voice you hear talking is a friend playing FFXIV. My mic didn’t pick myself up
