    I'm not here to argue what's imbalanced or not, but you are kinda downplaying how good the melee lb is. Unless you have like no lag at all, it is literally impossible to dodge. I run like a crazy distance behind the guy and still get hit. It is definitely not 3 steps. It's basically a free kill, whereas you can at least dodge a caster lb especially when they slow it down with the hotfix.

    Plus the melee usually stuns before it, and a gap closer makes any distance negligible. It's a mechanic where someone less skilled can easily kill a skilled player for free, and that's not good for PvP.

    Both LBs need to be slowed down, as both dps LB are broken as hell.

    Yet it's not a AoE LB, you can't wipe a party or the majority of it with chain melee LB's, unless you have your oponents being played by dogs and have absolutely no reaction or awareness at all.

    Which is why both LBs need a nerf to their damage. The Aoe LB shouldn't be able to wipe a party, and the melee LB shouldn't be a skill balancer and a free kill for someone less skilled.

    Right? I'm glad that you agree with me not defending broken mechanics, I'm neither downplaying melee LB's but actually detailing what I do against melee's, as a ranged caster, this obviously doesn't apply with a melee against another closer range dps/tank. Unless you are of course one of those blms that for some bizarre reason decide to run into a group of players cast aetheric field and manage to make a run trip back home unscratched.

    So youre saying that coordination is killing you, well maybe if YOU DID THE SAME you can kill them before you, geesh its not like casters are teh only ones that should work together..... you have 3 dps with bars full? guess what, you just took out 3 healers, the dps will fall in seconds. Learn some basic strat before you call the nerf wagon.
