Dragoons - I don't see too many of them in the high end content

[PArcher]

Either way, I'm guessing your point is that I just don't realize how bad melee DPS have it?

No...more that you're likely one of the bad ones

All I'm saying is the notion that somehow RDPS are better at dodging is just a lie people tell themselves.

One reason why I love Titan (HM and EX)...ranged have to actually dodge stuff. And so many fail...

And I do find it remarkable how these conversations omit any agency for tanks. I've eaten hood swings because a tank pivoted for reasons unbeknownst to me. I've had Wicked Wheels hit me because I wasn't left any space to evade. It's not the cut and dry 'melees are bad' narrative that gets perpetuated in this game.

Tanks are never to blame for anything...because its always a blessing that a tank decides to come and help the group, everyone needs to do what they want and if someone dies its their fault, never the tank's

/sarcasm

There's a reason I don't like to DRG certain content with unknown tanks, especially PLD. The above mentality is so strong with many tanks its just frustrating to try to get them to actually realize that they have a responsibility to keep melee safe...but no, its too much "work"...
