    You are pretty much complaining how on a war, a close range fighter has the superiority over an archer at close range, hence the goal of an archer is stop as many close range fighters as they could before reaching them.

    I'm complaining about melee being able to have 100% uptime on a caster because their tools to stay on a caster is greater than a caster's tool to make distance. If i need another caster to peel for me then your argument make no sense since its basically "casters are fine when it's 2v1"

    In secure when a caster is being targeted, your only option is to CC then run, hoping that person will target another person instead. Leaving you free to cast. Bards and melees dont have to deal with that BS.
    You can argue melee are affected by bind and sleep. So are casters

    This isn't really true. PLD and WAR can't have 100% uptime on casters. They don't have gap closers or abilities to remove sprint.

    War and PLd have it harder, but by melee i meant melee dps, just like by caster i mean caster dps

    Well, yeah I guess they should nerf standard mechanics because as a White mage I hate people targeting me first in a effort to burn me down and attemping to stun lock me and interrupting with each hit.

    Well only PLD can stunlock and if they are stunlocking you they can do nothing else. They are very one dimensional.
