Ranged DPS dominating Slaughter Mode

[Yumi_umi]

Bunch of blm cometeor = imagine odin and hall of stone aoe spam minus the petrification.
When did blm become odin? I'll never understand.

Also can we get more stuff happening around the map?
Cuz its always
RUSH TO MID CAMP, KILL NODES AND PPL, DIE, GET RAISED OR RESPAWN AND JUMP ON PAD TO FIGHT IN MID. Its like that every match.
So se might as well just make the map the middle arena as thats where 99% of the ppl r 99% of the time as there's always that rare 1% ppl that go around the map trying to be stealthy and stuff.

It is obvious to me that melee players are used to their free caster kills. Now that they have to fight eachother... OMGZ!!! NERF CASTERS!!! IT'S TOO HARD!!!

You're about as sharp as puff of cotton. Let me clue you in some of the details you clearly missed while you were cowering behind the lines, facerolling away in your own little delusional world.

As a melee in slaughter, you're not being targeted by just enemy melees and tanks. You're being targeted by enemy range jobs from not just one alliance. Not even just three alliances from one faction. But potentially six alliances from both enemy factions whilst you're in the center attempting to do your job. Now, since you do seem to have a healer leveled, I'd like you to put that hat holder of yours to use, and think about just how healable that incoming damage is, and ultimately, decide whether melee is on par with casters in their potential damage over the course of a round.

Learn to use position to your advantage. Stop running into a zerg and expecting to live. Work with your healers. Learn to retreat when focused. And also, welcome to PvP... although you probably won't last long. I wonder if you're one of my WHM kills lol.

There are things happening around the map that provide points and group buffs.

O lol didn't notice "any of my alliance/ party" going anywhere except the middle.
We won cuz u know we were all present and doin stuff in the middle at full power than having ppl wander off thus subtracting their fire power and utility for their overall team.
See what i mean.
Those things r just not worth the trouble getting as ur team will be outnumbered without u or whoever left.
As i said making the middle arena the whole map and making it 8v8v8 would make it a decent tdm if 90% of the map wasn't going to be used.

Actually, I have no idea what you mean. I must be getting old.

I'll bet you can tell me why the hell "Ayyy LMAO" is soo funny though.

Yet melee and bard completely destroy casters in secure. Why aren't you complaining about that too since perfect balance is your #1 priority?

Greetings,

Thanks for the feedback regarding the new mode. We’ve been gathering your feedback and presenting it to the dev. team.

In regards specifically to Cometeor, we do want to let you know that we originally planned to have it set to the same speed as Skyshard, but we have confirmed that’s not the case and will be addressing this in an upcoming HotFix.

Thank you so much! That's so helpful! : D

I just decided to jump into pvp for fun. Wanted to rank up some more, I don't do it too often.

That was a mistake. Having individual limit breaks just feels like it breaks everything. Then you have teams of premades more than likely using voice communications dominating everything. This has been going on for the last 2 hours. I keep getting grouped against them. Until they fix this, pvp has lost another member. I shame, I really wanted some of those vanity items.

Learn to use position to your advantage.

i already explained to you why this isn't a realistic expectation but you conveniently responded to every post but mine.
let me redirect you

it's really easy to tell melee to position themselves in ways that would benefit them, but it's another thing entirely to actually do this as a melee dps going against 20 casters.

the only alternative to not engaging a group of casters is to sit and do nothing at all. and in that case, melee is pretty much useless.

does a melee have an advantage against a black mage in pvp? yes, probably. does a single melee have an advantage against 10+ black mages grouped together? no way. you'll need at least a few more melee with you in order to be efficient. however, this wont happen, because by now people have seen that being a caster is just easier in huge 72-man battles like this because they can sit back and cast and they have a limit break that does a ridiculous amount of damage for the amount of space it covers.

and anyway, based on the fact that you only have white mage leveled and that you think PLDs have an attack that can hit for 4k it's pretty obvious you have no idea what you're talking about when it comes to how any other job actually plays in pvp.
