Melee DPS got easy mode for coil gear.

[Lunavi]

All I can read out of OP in this thread is "I am butthurt because the class I play will no longer be the single most powerful class in the game and I have to have an actuall drawback to having the possibility to ignore almost all mechanics the game has to offer + bringing in great support, let us therefore nerf everyone and everything so I become the greatest and most powerful again".

You started out with a valid point, but you let your butthurt consume you. And that is sad, because I find this a valid complaint. Because in a static premade I can hardly see 1 monk and 1 drg in the same party. But this is however only true for statics where all truly needs before greeds.

Q.Q abt melee drops, u can have my chest dropping in turn 5 if u want.

[ZaelC]

enemy mechanics? what mechanics? AoE that hit both range and melee? Your only job is stand still at boss side, dps and move around the boss when aoe come.

That is harder than what you do: Stand still away from boss... thats all.

Still you must be high when you play or something, because from T1 to T4 there are just 2 AoEs that need to be Dodged by both Ranged and Melee, everything else is Melee work. Don't ever become a Melee please, you would ashamed us all.

Great bait, OP. Obviously just a buttflustered BRD because they are getting nerfed.

Any shred of a legitimate complaint you had has been completely drowned in your own trolling about what a hard knock life bard has. You could have actually had a thread and support if you would just shuttup about belittling melees every post. Congrats on squashing your own idea under the heel of your job class bigotry.

Well I haven't done coil so I really can't speak to the drop ratio or whatever. I honestly don't think that a nerf in any form is the answer. The fact remains that whatever class a person choose to play that is their prerogative. And therein lies my complaint why would you seek to nerf another class because you chose to play another? This isn't a new dynamic in MMO's so arguing it will be redundant. Luckily I play a healer and I chose bard as an alternate because I prefer to support my peers that is just my play style.

OP neglects that of the 2 melee 'sets' (striking and maiming), only 1 can be needed by drg and the other by Mnk. SE DID separate the sets. Same with hero/DL.


Drg 1
Mnk 1
Brd 1
Smn/Blm 1
Sch/Whm 1
War/Pld 1

Another post mentioned, the only 'fair' way would be to add a 2nd set for tanks/healers/magicDPS and dilute the pool further.

Accessories equiped by any job doesnt change the fact that they are coded for specific jobs with the need/greed system and stats are aimed at one. A brd can greed the mnk ring with the drg.
Brd is the ONLY dex based class. When they add another there will be more cross class dex gear. Anything before that will just dilute the loot pool.

The problem is most bring 2-3 brds and 0-1 melee so if melee gear drops, brds get butthurt. Its not melees fault that bards are more versatile and output more DPS in realistic scenarios. Bring melees and the gear wont just be trash getting in the way of the 2-3 brds, or just wait for 2.1 to do it for you.

^ This. The only reason it seems the way OP thinks, is cuz you don't bring melee to begin with. So that 'one' or 'zero' melee you do bring, is lucky due to having no competition. While you stack ranged that are forced to compete over each other's drops when they do drop. As for me... for the past two weeks, 4/6 heeling pieces dropped out of my Turn 1 - 4 runs. So obviously OP is a liar to say melee onry.
