Please Hotfix Warriors and Melee DPS

[Aaron_T]

You make us wait all the way until December for our fix then its not fully efficient.
Warriors are far better off now than they were but are still inferior to a Paladin.

I noticed a post where people are only doing ranged groups and melee dps being one of my favorite roles and my off class I kind of agree.

My main class? Warrior >.>
Like how crappy is it when people don't wanna group with you based on your class?
But I understand, its Final Fantasy's master plan to cleverly trick you into rolling multiple classes by throwing a few duds out there

I'm not saying anything major, just a tiny increase of anything would be enough.
I still strongly feel Warriors and Melee DPS are just not on par with other classes.
Also this isn't really a damage issue with some melee its more about avoidance.

The classes aren't the problem, it's the poor encounter design. Making melee a liability limits people's desire to take them along. Even if you were to more than double melee's already buffed DPS potential people still wouldn't want to take them.

[Deifact]

You can't really hotfix fight mechanics. I agree that fights should include mechanics for both ranged and melee to watch out for, but it's not something they can change quickly (likely won't change at all).

I would just practice more. You can squeeze a little extra DPS out if you know the fights well!

Calm down and sit down. Warrior is great now. Meelee dps are powerful if you know how to use them right. NERF dragoon running speed I don't understand why everytime I see a dragoon with relic they always run faster and die faster.

[UrbanLucrece]

Isn't it natural that for some encounters melee's are better and some ranged dps are? i.e Garuda-> Ranged, Titan-> Melee etc.

[Aaron_T]

I'm not really like raging or anything just a little dissapointing. Its managable as is. I just feel like it needs a little more balance not a lot. Melee dps is pretty decent. I just think if they maybe took a little less damage that might help some. Warriors need a little more midagation too just a little. Its almost perfect just not quite there yet in my opinion.

I think it could be solved without changing any fight mecanics or upseting the game balance.

What exactly is wrong with Warrior anymore? Foresight could use a boost to magic def too but is not necessary. My FC groups have never had any issues with Warrior. Melee DPS, same thing, we don't have any issues.

This is more a l2p issues, causing PF groups to exclude certain classes. Warrior is significantly more complex to play than PLD by design and melee dps are more complex to play than ranged with all the different rotations and more AoE dodging. But this doesn't mean they suck, it's just too many players being bad at their job.

Paladins seem to require less attention for healers compared to a warrior
on turn 1 for example. Even if that warriors gear is more than the paladins.

[mindful]

It just as a melee it is well strong to a point., Yet with the design it is to hard to dodge out of the area when mobs are casting and messes up healers and the tanks rotations, from the lag or .1 second delays or something. You see it on both ends when a melee is out side of the red circles and half way across a room and still get hits. So most of the players are just adjusting to the system or gave up on melee in the groups.

People just starting to sandbox it a little.

Yeah that being halfway across the room thing is really stupid.
Keeping in mind this is a Fantasy but tottally unrealistic. OH I hit you with fire but you were 20 feet away, you still die! ^.^
