Melee attacks and Running away Mobs/PvP don't always go through.

When the mob is running away from you or even in PvP when players are always running away, When I get close enough or even on top of them the action doesn't always go through when obviously I was on top on the player/mob and it won't go through sometimes.

Can't we have it so when you get at a certain distance your skills will light up and when you hit it the action will 100% go through? The actions stop mid-animation and does nothing to the opposing threat.

It is a minor thing to me, but it does get annoying in PvP A lot more than PvE. I hope this gets fixed.

Abilities grey out/get a red border if the target isn't in range. What you're experiencing is the inevitable delay on an online game. You appear to be on top of them on your screen but in reality they're another 3 steps ahead of you by the time your PC/PS4/PS3 receives their position from the server. You'll see that instant abilities often will work fine but anything with any sort of cast time will interrupt as that 3 steps ahead becomes 6-8 by the time the cast finishes. As long as we're playing over the internet this problem will always be there.

Where have you been for the past.. since beta..?

I'm certainly glad their isn't a lot of kiting strats in current raids. It is really terrible on all melee. This should have been fixed LONNNGGGG ago, and it can actually have a significant impact on melee in most things (MNK losing GL3, DRG rotation, Tank/OT threat & pickup just as examples).

I wish the devs would take these sorts of issues more seriously. It is sad we have to deal with them, and often times even build strategies around basic system limitations in a 2014 MMO.

There's a big reason why I'll be playing BRD in Frontlines. None of that people running through me crap and interrupting my casts or the server not updating fast enough for melee to land attacks consistently enough.

I foresee there being ALOT of BRDs in frontlines for just those reasons lol

I know this issue has been around for a long time, I just feel something like this however small can have a big impact on gameplay.
