Melee in Frontlines is a Joke

Now with everyone running around as cowardly Range Classes it's basicly useless and damaging to your team to roll anything else.

Melee is as squishy as Range with very little survivability while Range classes have plenty to flee with.


So as it stands right now, Why do they even let Melee classes Queue for Frontlines? Please do something Square.

It sounds like your tanks aren't pulling people in for you like they should be. Melee is still good, you just can't rush the enemy lines unless you are hopelessly in love with the ground. Also 1v1 a ranged is out of the question , and anti objective to boot. Maybe if you had everything ready and lined up but in the thick of battle Absolutely not.

The problem then lies with bad match making. The last 4 games I played were 90% Range classes. I was forced as a SAM to just stand behind our range and do our tiny range that burns our TP.


Also Samurai's Gap Closer is a joke, and stupidly hard to navigate when in the thick of battle. "OH BOY WHERE IS MY MARKER I CANT SEE IT" they need to change it back to how the PVE one is.....

I keep mine centered with my character that way I just turn my camera and its always center. melee isn't super bad in FL atm, especially those with ranged attacks, you just gotta pick your battles and be aware.

I dont understand what you mean. You're talking about our Gap Closer right? I dont know what you mean by keeping it center.

Oh right I play with controller, not sure how it is on kb/m but we have a "Target Ring" Unlocked (r1 + L) to move option that keeps it centered from your character unless you choose to move it around. I forgot kb/m might not have that sorry.

You can assign it to it's own macro pallet mid screen to make it better. I see people use it effectively all the time though I haven't mastered it myself as of yet.

You can add another line after so that it reverts to the usual mode in case target is out of range/sight:

/macroicon "Hissatsu: Soten" pvpaction
/pvpaction "Hissatsu: Soten" <t>
/pvpaction "Hissatsu: Soten"

This format is what I usually use in PvE modes.

wrong team approach, it is simple. It is not like if you have less button you don't need brains.

I find this to be the most accurate representation of what it feels like as the sole healer in most parties composed of nothing but melee DPS and tanks in Frontlines:

Ah yes
I do enjoy hopscotch on drg
Until one of 7 token bards focus me, let me have fun frantically running back and forth with the other melee, damnit
