Please Hotfix Warriors and Melee DPS

[firepixiedarien]

1. Make it so moves like Wicked Wheel have a cast bar but no red circle

2. Give WAR's Inner Beast heal a 600% multiplier, ditch the Dmg Resistance Effect

3. Give WAR's Bloodbath a "100% dmg dealt = 100% dmg healed" effect, but it only applies to WARs

4. Fixed

Wicked wheel is pretty much the only thing I can think of that truly hampers melee.. Ifrit Ex you can work around the nail thing just don't take more than 1 or 2 melee along..

Basically i90 DRG and one hit from Wicked can near 1-shot me.. pretty much the only fight I don't both with on DRG since my BRD is also i90. Titan and Ifrit I have fun going either way.

Except that the ranged classes in this game dont need to be out of range, so again Titan is still ranged, you can have 4 bards stackin on titan and doing the same dmg they would do if they were far and move out in range to avoid stuff beetter for example the super bomb, you wuld be already in position still keeping up dps if you are all ranged, because they removed the <-> distance dmg penalty.
So the game is extremely bad designed for close range dps.

You can quite literally stack two monks and two dragoons as dps for titan ex and as long as they know how to play properly they will always triumph versus any ranged class with the same leveled gear.

Going to completely disagree in regards to warrior fixes at the moment. While I can't vouch for experience much as a melee dps, I can honestly say that warriors are amazing. My advice for people learning warrior or having difficulty with it, is to find a dummy and just practice more.( as with any other job ). Once you become more comfortable organizing your cd rotation and dd rotation, your survivability will be pretty noticeable, as you simultaneously are putting out some serious crit numbers. IMO war is far more enjoyable/efficient to play than pld, talking in terms of a mix of survivability and damage dealing. Theres nothing really wrong with pld. However, I personally would like that some changes be made to pld in order to break up the monotony, but that's a different topic.

It's easy enough to call it out as is. L2P.

2. Give WAR's Inner Beast heal a 600% multiplier, ditch the Dmg Resistance Effect

No thank you. All 600% done is just gonna introduce more useless over-heal.

3. Give WAR's Bloodbath a "100% dmg dealt = 100% dmg healed" effect, but it only applies to WARs

Ehhhh, it's not that big a deal. 50% is not bad.

Fixed what? Warrior is fine as is. Foresight can use a bit of a buff but I have no problem with it.

WARRIOR is fine, you just seem to want them to be superior to Paladin and that just should not be the case.

i have yet to see warriors one-shot by wicked wheel.


the rest of your fixes would just make warrior stupidly unbalanced.

The game is designed for 1pld/1war/2melee/2ranged/1sch/1whm. Class differentiation.

The real issue is skill as none of the melee in my statics have any issues. Just as with any game, certain classes take more skill to play. Find skilled players and this issue goes away quickly.
