FIX Melee DEADZONE

[LongNu]

You were warned ahead of time that ranged will dominate PvP due to melee's susceptibility to deadzoning. It is absolutely horrendous. Playing catch-up 80% of the time isn't 'fun' in the slightest. Give melee (BOTH MNK AND DRG) a 50% snare or increase the range on ALL melee attacks by 1.5 - 2 yards.

As it stands, melee is bottom tier in comparison to all ranged classes. Simply for this reason at how ridiculously easy it is to kite them.

I only did PVP in the beta since i'm still at work, but uhh can't DRG just you know, jump on them? for MNK i just used fists of wind and ran a lil bit infront of my target to hit them if shoulder tackle wasn't up, it's a learning curve working with positional updates. Granted BLMs are hard/annoying to kill to begin with XD

It's not so much a positional issue as it is a server character placement issue. You can be standing literally inside someone running with them and still be told you're out of range.

It's an issue in all pvp, which is why ranged classes will always dominate the scene.

isnt there a skill that reduces ranged dps range ?

There are just as many posts about melee being fine as there are saying they are not. While I have yet to play with my DRG buddy, the issue might be behind the keyboard.

NO, you are incorrect, before you say something try to melee in pvp, it is near impossible, ESPECIALLY with monks.

What you are experiencing is lag as a melee. It may look on your screen as if you are in range, but because of lag between the time you press your attack and when it "should" go off, the emeny has already moved just out of range. Its would be pretty common if you were trying to chase someone without any speed debuffs or if you had any on yourself.

I never had a problem with dead zones as a Dragoon. Maybe something is wrong with you to be honest. As a melee you are supposed to play the chase game with casters. Thats how it worked.

Ain't log in or anything but I do believe DRG's can jump at people anyways...Also, you can throw things.
I would imagine Monk's having a terrible time.


Did MNK's zoom out though?

Monks have it worse. This has nothing to do with skill. I just posted a video here showcasing my games. It has to do with unintentional deadzone effects due to latency and range checks.
