Ranged DPS dominating Slaughter Mode

[daiquentyn]

Sorry, one crying melee at a time.

lol i MAINLY play smn and sch in slaughter and have played all roles in pvp. unlike you i actually leveled and play more than one job so i understand how they work.

Learn patience and stop throwing yourself into a zerg.

i addressed this. the entire game mode revolves around your team being a caster zerg. if you don't throw yourself into a zerg, you are just doing nothing at all as a melee. you'll need more than one melee going into these groups if you want to be effective at all, and since no one wants to play anything other than caster you'll only have one idiot playing melee while the rest of your team is casters.

so come up with something else already.

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.

This post should just happen again.
So here it is.

It's just horrible how melee has a huge disadvantage in slaugher mode. Today I joined a slaugher as Ninja, and I was the only melee dps in my whole alliance. It was filled with BLM, SMN and BRD.

Mage LBs everywhere.

How did SE not see this comming...

Camp enemy outposts as NIN. Easy Fever.

Allright. Will try that next time.

Thanks for tip. I hope it will make Slaugher a bit more enjoyable as melee next time.

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.

I bet the melees crying are the same ones telling casters to L2P in secure
