Why does SE hate melee dps?

[Trasias]

Not trying to sound mean but that really had nothing to do with what I said.

It's not like I've ran AK only once with a Dragoon and once with a Bard...I, like everyone else, have done many many AK runs and constantly find that Bards make the run far quicker. Again, I personally don't care that they're strong. The only thing I would want is to have people want a melee class as much as they want a Bard in the group.

I'm trying to tell you that, perhaps, the dragoons in your party were bad at their job/rotation.

As I mentioned in a prior post, I've noticed DPS in this order with competent individuals: Monk > Dragoon / Bard > Summoner > Black Mage
