Aurum Vale - Duty Complete!

[Keftenk]

2 BRD and 2 ARC is essentially the same CLASS. Not everyone in my LS has ranged classes, and stacking ranged classes is stacking.

Two healers is necessary for almost all runs, everyone knows that. But we don't dipt low to the point that we require people to change their classes/jobs just to complete a dungeon. It can be done with melee range dd's. Why so much hate for our opinion on how the game is played? There are 7 jobs, yes. So why does everyone run it and other dungeons as ranged classes/jobs?

Why does everyone run it like that? Because it's the safest. Even in previous patches, it was because they were safer (even though they were top DPS for most fights). There are a lot of problems when you start to take melee that cant sustain the dmg taken, because your healers start to rip hate off the tank. Of course, this is all dependent on exactly how much damage is being taken.

For instance, in Chimera, if you take melee and they take the 2k hits constantly, your WHMs are bound to rip hate from the tank.

In the end, people care about getting the gear they want or the completion, not because they killed it with X, Y, Z combination.

There is always ways around it. Cut off the tail on chimera then you have a viable spot for dd's.

We still run Ifrit with dd's and not many thm's/blm's. It's not the fastest way, but it still gets the job done with everyone on the classes/jobs they like to play. This is an iffy subject for a lot of people.. it just makes me sad that a lot of this dungeon content turns into ranged content with healers and tanks.
