Ranged DPS dominating Slaughter Mode

[Domira]

I don't think anyone said they are balanced. Melee is incredibly favored in PvP. Melee players are just now realizing the importance of positioning, focusing, etc... That should speak volumes.

I sincerely hope those single melee keep running full steam into groups of 24 people trying to kill them. It's good entertainment. It reminds me of this level 15 Dragoon I watched attack a S-rank the other day in front of 2 full raids.

So how did that paladin hit you for 4k damage?

Do you not see how turtling being the optimal strategy is not conducive to fun or fair play?

There are objectives in the game to prevent turtling from being the optimal strategy. No guts. No glory.

no idea, wasn't me as I said. I can verify a BLM's health dropping from full to zero with a pally standing there over the corpse though.

What skill does paladin have that can make them hit harder than a caster lb in pvp?
