Honestly sounds like you need to re-examine the job's kit and look at its identity. Your solution is an answer to a problem that just doesn't exist for most people. Stand further back, learn how to judge distance. You are NOT a melee.
Sounds like BRD/MCH players using Peloton (or Foe Req) in Eureka and then complaining you pulled something that wasn't intended.... like one of those sleeping dragons! Just be aware of your environment, goes for any job really.
I agree on how it can be annoying to have this huge AoE during single target combat.
But honestly I saw this as something I have to work around or keep an eye on instead of something that needed to be changed.
Having to keep track of my surroundings as dancer to me felt as 'part of the job'.
That's why we have En Avant, so we can move quickly and position without missing a beat or you can simply move while you attack since there is nothing that is going to get interrupted. It's all about awareness of ones surroundings, I burned dnc to 70 and did my entire msq on an alt with dnc and never had this happen to me, just need to not get tunnel vision. Things don't need to change just because you cant be bothered to look around or move. Positioning is just as much a part of combat as your rotation.
Move away with your mobs.
Problem solved.
This is only a problem in open world content. Once you do dungeons and trials, you'll be glad that you can hit things from 15 yrds away. Titaniana extreme, I can cleave all 3 Tree adds even though they are spread too far apart for anyone to aoe them. When you get trapped behind the vines, you can still hit boss. It's as if if this job was intended to be a "ranged dps". Its crazyness. I don't have to be in melee range for every thing I do!?
I have leveled all the way up to 80 and I have yet to put extra stuff using finisher. Learn to control your dancing zone lol
I don't seem to have this issue. I seem to be able to appropriate how far the AoE is going to go, and if I'm not sure I just move a bit further away.
It's a ranged DPS class.. I sincerely APPRECIATE that the AOE's are larger because it means I can stay more at range like the class is meant to be.....ranged DPS. People just need to learn better awareness and skill and pull mobs away. And if you pull more mobs, pop yer Devilment and shield dance and burn them down. My only issue with the class is I'd prefer the single target DPS be a little stronger to stay a little more competitive.
