This game is not for Melee

[Lemon8or]

just position youself near the center when titan falls, and use second wind when he falls<< that is why we have the skill.

Actually, you can just stand on the edge with everyone and Shoulder Tackle in to keep Greased Lightning up. No second wind needed since healer will be using medica/succor anyway.

What kind of mechanics do people want in this game? Balance out melee and range...ok, aside from the huge buff that us melee got, what more do you want? I honestly don't care if this game is "melee unfriendly" or not I enjoy playing my Monk a lot, and I'm pretty good at it, never had a complaint of low dps or not pulling my weight in a fight even on those that are "melee unfriendly" (I'm looking at you Garuda X!). As far as i know in most MMOs it's always easier and lazier to play range and more risky to play melee, if you were expecting an easy game for you I'm glad you're disappointed. Now grow a pair and get back in the fight other wise keep your e sports events and wins and go play CoD or something...

Wow...I just.....wow.....that gear of yours.....can you do Ifrit HM like that? To post a thread like this looking like that is just.....wow, how long you been playing this game for? A week? Go read the Monk Temple thread, get ALL your x-class skills, learn your rotation and at the least get a lvl 50 GC weapon for all that is good and holy and THEN complain. All this threads about how bad this game is for melee is just sickening, play ranged then and stop giving us a bad image!!!

I looked after so many people were commenting on it. A Tank Ring and a Healer Choker? SRSLY? and WHITE 46 Weapons? >.> Don't have your gear all messed up and then complain about it! <.<

No. You're just bad.

Takes way more skill to play melee than ranged honestly. If you say otherwise, you're lying to yourself. Dodging tail swipes, repelling cannons, boss melee aoes like Rams Voice, ballast, cleaves, wicked wheel.

For every melee aoe there is usually a ranged aoe you have to dodge, piercing laser, dragon's voice, WotL are harder on casters, movement in general is harder on casters. I am consistently pulling top numbers over Blackmages and usually equal with our i89 smn, Its not hard, the game is not melee unfriendly, it just requires skill.....not a lot, just some...

He's gear, wtf, dont complain, you are starting the game for what im seeing so, read about your class more after posting

Melee usually does lower dps overall than ranged, but they are far from being useless. Unless they don't know how to play their class that is. Certain fights they are top DPS like Ultima since he never moves much.

Can you actually name one fight where melee does lower dps than ranged? I never encountered one.
