I never said it would hurt my experience. My point is that it doesn't hurt my experience seeing him being a melee each time, and I have no need to see him play the roles I play.

Right. Like I said, I don't see the problem here. If it brings someone else joy even if it doesn't matter to you, why fight it?

Because I was giving a different way of thinking about it. That is all.

For those who're gonna reply "but all of those are from cartoons" then I'm pretty sure they'll find equal badass wizard footage in the lord of the rings.

I think the melee jobs suit him better, I can't see meteor being a dnc in a future trailer. Wouldn't really be the aesthetic that would attract most gamers imo.

it's funny because if we use anime, you know, japanese media, as a source, the list of "badass mages" would far outweight the "badass warriors"

"We know most people play dps so we always want to release a dps class"
Congratulations... you're compounding the problem.
You generate interest in tanks and healers by revamping them and releasing new ones. All they've ever done is homogenize and simplify them. 4 tanks and 4 healers vs. 14 dps jobs. What a joke.

I guess they normally only care about pleasing the shareholders, so when the game tanks so hard they actually have to look the players' way for once, they treat us the same way instead of doing competent game design.

I'd like to see Machinist as the poster job, you can make a cool action scene in CG and have the WoL fight alongside the Automaton Queen.

I could keep going too. There's no shortage of flashy and stylish displays of magic or ranged weaponry in media. It's actually baffling that people genuinely think you can't make ranged or magical powers look as cool as melee.
