You named no specific attacks, but let's go with what you have, conal attacks, monks and dragoons getting killed by conal attacks are bad monks and dragoons, don't be infront of bosses, companies can't balance mechanics around bad players, and close aoe attacks, there is one in the whole game I can think of that you can't disabled, repelling cannons, maybe this whole thread is about that one move, if so, yes I guess it is unfair to ask melee dps to avoid one attack that ranged doesn't have to. Or maybe you are upset because you didn't finish on top of a parser, if that's the case, I have no use for you anyway. People that are concerned more about parsing than beating encounters are what hold groups back.
