fatal unbalanced melee/range

It feels like I need minutes to push a melee down on my blm, don't care with or without LB. Because I am hadicapped on cast time and low dmg. If the melee focus me ---> charge--> stun--> dead, less than 3 sec ... .
BLM: low HP (48k vs 60k), long dmg time, low def ... were is the balance?:confused:

The balance? You can hit them from a mile away, while they need to break safe distancing just to whack you.

Isn't SAM gap closer like 20yards and the BLM range is 25yards? Breaking that "safe distance" is easy.

yes but when the sam in in melee it can't flee from the fight, if you stun him after his charge or root him, the sam is kinda screwed.

You should guard when the sam dives you so that maybe your team turns around and helps you murder the out of position samurai who has no escape. Though broadly, I agree that Sam is OP and blm needs buffs,

I'd say ranged is more powerful than melee. All it takes is for the melee to get binded/pulled and they're sitting ducks. And with as many stuns/roots/pulls I've seen in my matches, that is VERY easy to do.
