Ranged DPS dominating Slaughter Mode

[Red_Wolf]

stuff...

Ok, enough of looking at the one class I have had time to level so far in this game. I'm working on Botanist when I can right now. I like pvping. If you want help pvping as melee then read the tips I've already posted. Melee is fun and generally has an advantage over casters like in this game. But you're always moving and it's easy to over-extend. If you play SMN, then enjoy beating up the noob melees for a while until they learn what to do.

As far as your argument, I don't know what to tell you. You say melee can either commit suicide in the middle of the zerg or stand around doing nothing. I have seen plenty of melee choose option 1. But any that choose option 2 are getting a vote kick from me. There are plenty of others that know when and where to strike and are doing very well.

They're trying to say your argument is invalid because you haven't played DPS in this game. This game is not other games. Sorry to break it to you. Also, botanist? Invalid.
The Dev who posted in this thread admitted that the LB system is flawed so it will be fixed. So if they themselves saw the imbalance in their own game, then it is you who is pulling the veil over your own eyes for whatever reason I don't know.

Overall, I am awaiting this fix before seriously pvping again, or, I will get together a premade that knows how to do the new 'strategy'/'not strategy'.

I have won some games though, but that's mostly because our alliance was mainly casters, and then I had a 24 man Slaughter mode game where my team was smart and didn't die cuz I is good healer (and my team didn't get baited), and therefore we won.

What they're trying to do is throw common sense out the window and pretend melee aren't as OP as they are in Secure. They want to be able to run head first into a zerg and not die. Sorry if patience and strategy is inconvenient for them but that doesn't make melee any less OP in PvP in this game. That's why this thread is a joke. Plenty of melee have posted in the forum saying they're doing well and enjoy slaughter.

I don't understand the BLM LB fix. I rarely see it kill anyone on my team. It only takes me one GCD for me to heal through it and it's so slow I don't know how you get hit with more than one even if you are CC'd. But I guess we can't expect the lemmings (melee) to move out of aoe either as they charge head first into the zerg.

Not hard to time LBs at the same time on top of CC'd targets, especially with VOIP. Get tons of kills with my co-caster with double lb (at the same time), its totally fair. I don't even have to be close to perform it. SE please keep this totally balanced system.

Not hard to time dps LBs either. In fact its easy to mark healers from a distance, call your number, pop tank LB, dash in/jump stucn LB and boom, healers are dead, blms dont last long w/o healers.


All I see in this thread is a bunch of melee crying they cant afk attack. PVP is the only think that is not scripted in this game and pvp has definitely separated the wheat from the shaft for the dps. Ive seen many bards, tanks, melee dps with rage, just because people cant play thier jobs doesnt mean others should be nerfed. I'm tired of blm getting pvp nerfs because a cry baby drg cant auto win.

I play every aspect of PvP, not just melee.

yes, that is strategy often used to attempt to kill healer but requires much coordination just to try and kill one target. I'm not going to knock on that combination, however Sleep + 2Cometeor = Many Dead (including healers)

EDIT: I feel like i misunderstood what you were saying, still not sure if you quoted my post as if you were agreeing or disagreeing.

The first part about coordination was to you, the rest was for the rest of this cryfest.

And if you think pre marking multiple healers and assigning them to specific dps to run in and lb harder than trying to time a group sleep/CC running in and trying to ground target the exact same spot I don't know what to say, and before you spew ive played more games than you so I must be right, I highly highly doubt you have.
