Cue Garuda EX and wicked wheel.

What the hell is Yoshi and his crew smoking?

Been to this fight plenty on my Black Mage and its simple and easy. Whoop, had to sidestep a friction. Jump to my Dragoon and suddenly I'm putting in three times the effort I did on my Black Mage.

Oh, you figured out that Friction and Downburst are followed by the attack that instantly kills you? Great, we're gonna switch that up in the next phase. Also hope you're lucky with the timing on these aoe's so you can actually get out of range. Wait, you wanted to DPS? Why on earth would you play a melee DPS if you wanted to DPS?


Seriously, this is completely unacceptable. They messed around with the numbers, but the problem between ranged and melee DPS is not their number output. Its the mechanics they're expected to deal with during fights.
