pvp melee sucks

[Xioned]

srsly I am lancer and is so hard use skills in pvp when enemy are sprint or normal run,need to use same skill 4-5 times for 1 success dmg,and magues can sprint all day because they dont need tp for nothing...and ofc ppl use walls for bug lock camera...

srsly rework this retard pvp...

guide how pvp with drg:

1-follow 1 guy all match,he will sprint and u will fail 50% u skills and when u healed die, say bye bye.

pd:this isnt pvp,is a race.

pd2:soz my english

I destroy with my DRG. You are obviously bad if you're playing the best anti-mage in the game and cannot kill one.
Pro-tip: Some of the most worthless PvE skills are the strongest PvP skills.

Melees are just fine in PvP. You just need to know your strategies. Just because you lose to something doesn't mean it's broken.

try using weapon throw. it a PVP skill for malee. it will slow and remove their Sprint if they turn their back against you.

If you are having issues with staying on top of someone, you could just roll MNK and use Fist of Wind, not needed, but it helps.

Melee is fine. Server positional checks, aren't.

A video by a player called Longnu really helped me in PvP. Dragoons actually have a lot of utility in PvP, it just requires some practice and some quick thinking.

Some tips:

-DO NOT Focus on killing the opponent's healer or BLM/SMN. Doing this will leave your own Healer open to be killed. Protect the healer instead and take out the DPS that try to go after your healer. If you're good enough, the opposing healer won't be able to keep up and they'll go down eventually.

-Dots are your friend. Slap on Phleb and Fracture whenever you can, they'll help tire out the healer and will cover the possibility of sprinting.

-Open up with leg sweep. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't; but leg sweep is too good to not start off with to dish out damage.

- Primarily use ID > Dis > CT combo, the debuff on Dis will help your team mates nuke your team mates and the CT is just a nice dot. Your thrust combo should only be used for spike damage to finish off an opponent.
