Top 1 player on Light plays DRG with pretty good overall split between melee and ranged below. Sounds like positioning issue.

Melee requires ppl to not fight in the open and abuse cover. As above said, melee/tank are perfectly viable, it's just you generally have to play more carefully.
Especially against Bard and White Mage CC. -

Melee (dps, not tanks) isn't an easy role to play, but if you play at top level it's also the jobs that consistently offer so much abusable defense that a great player will almost always get away with what they do. You get to a point where punishing them becomes a literal chore even when your team decides to dedicate resources to actually defend its ranged.
If anything, and maybe it's a DC thing, but most of the top players on my own either play melee or healers, both with very high skill ceilings. Good luck not being atomized to shreds as a ranged player in top crystal games as soon as the enemy team sneezes in your general direction. -

I mean the first target is usually whoever was silly enough to dive in first. It's too easy of a free be to pass up Irika. Melee is fine in CC right now.

Yes their ideal playstyle is essentially starting the burst with Geirskogul, then High Jump -> Heaven's Thrust, maybe Chaotic Spring, Elusive Jump out into Wyrmwind Thrust and Nastrond, but unlike NIN they actually have to dive in.Quote:

The game cannot even keep up with my APS (actions per second.) nor properly register when i step on a healing pickup lol its not even a class or skill issue anymore imo its just the pvp now sucks and everybody is just using it to grind.

I mean several jobs feel like they have a similar job Towa. I would say NIN is more like to MCH though in that they have an answer for basically everything. I see SMN as being more like DRG in that it has an actual progression of moves for comboing off and sudden burst options.

Ninja aka Crinja.
Let's be real, the ninja is broken. More tanky than a tank/monk, insane mobility and survivability, a ult that lets them chain kills, and insane pressure at range and close up.
It's a dumb class. My friend switched to playing one and consistently tops the scoreboard in frontline without trying. He literally just seethes how broken and dumb the class is currently for the absolute braindead skill it requires to kill things. -
