Extreme Garuda MELEE Woes

[Lafiele]

Melee is not impossible at all. It's just the general public that PLAYS melee sucks at avoiding wicked wheel and thus we lead to this.

On the other hand, SE can't make content which is easier for melee while maintaining the same difficulty for range. It's usually, melee easy, range super easy; melee hard, range medium; melee SUPER HARD; range hard. One way is to buff the actual melee class defensively but that would make them OP because they would become OFF OFF tanks lol.

So ultimately, I think the best solution is, buff melee dps even more to trade off the risk. Melee at the moment is still gimped in half the new content available. Perhaps something like a damage increase over time the longer you stay near a boss?
