Last straw

[Corrderio]

In conclusion, the classes are quite well balanced right now. People can perform more or less the same on any DD class in Moogle by design. The community, by practice, is enforcing ARC as a failsafe for people they don't know. This is not something the devs can fix, because class-stacking is not something the devs can fully prevent. They can simply do their best to not encourage it - which they have. There are lots of utility to other classes that most of the community is turning a blind eye to. Make some friends, play with the same people as much as you can, and prove your capabilities on your favorite class - yet if it doesn't work out and you are not able to make your favorite class work, then have the decency to switch to a class you can help the party with.

You're right about they can't stop class stacking, but they can discourage it. Something they haven't done yet.

One of the biggest advantages ARC has in the moogle fight is their combos are a joke to pull off. Unless the mob is aggroing you as an ARC, you don't have much of an excuse not to be 8+ yalms away from the target. However, the same can't be said about melee. Comboing the moogles as a melee is somewhat annoying due to their size, them running away and calling for help after they take so much damage, and possibly latency registering the hit in an unintended direction. I've noticed if I run through a mob and use Impulse dive without pausing for a moment, the client registers it as a frontal attack even though I was behind the mob on my screen.

One of the best remedies for this would be removing the crap requirements for combos and having them only fail if you miss or get resisted. Even then I fear people will only use archers, claiming MRD/BLM AoEs do too much damage or some bullsh*t excuse like that.

Stupid excuse? Very. But...
