This game is not for Melee

[Marcusow86]

Me cus I'm lazy heh. Although for dungeons and CT etc I like to go as melee since its more fun. but for primals imo its must easier to pwn through it on brd.

I started the game as a Dragoon. It's fun poking boss from the back and rear with a minimum of 2 filled hotbar of 24 skills to spam and combo, but I think I find it more fun and having more purpose as a Bard

Started out as a SMN, BRD, BLM, recently went over to DRG. From boring to finger spamming excitement. To each his own i guess

Actually, why are people so insistent that melees will always out DPS ranged in Primal EX?

IDK. To me it can be situational. I've been invited to this LS of skilled players and we have been clearing EMs without a static for weeks, one shotting them. We sold runs together, we did solo heals and what not. These players are definitely skilled and know their stuff. But as a BRD there are times that I could outdo a melee, albiet not a large margin.

Actually, if you read the arguement, it's about melee getting OUTDPS'd by a range, last time I check, the term OUTDPS'd is used if the damage gap is by a large margin. I never said that when melee gets compared to a range, it's an instant melee win, range can win ofcourse, been there done that (my main is a BRD), but as you've said it's not by a large margin, hence the OUTDPS'd term should be out of context.

Who wants to play a boring range DPS when you can play a 24 move set Melee DPS XD

Try to kill Twintania with 4 melees. Twisters will be fun

Have done it with three while single tanking, was fun.
not sure about four though ^^

Hahah, this kid.

"Hey Im a monk w/o BfB. I never cleared anything passed Titan hm, but melee is so bad. Especially in Coil and extremes where ranged are so darn overpowered. I want to out dps all ranged w/o BfB, so SE needs to buff melee, especially monks.

I tell people to learn my class so they know what they talk about. All other classes don't have a wind up time when Titan jumps. Only monk does. Monk is one of the few classes that can keep the motor going, but let's just ignore that and troll this forum."

E sports.. you're a complete joke. Sad thing is, SE actually listens to whiners. We just witnessed the average whiner.. gg SE.

Well if the "out dps" meant by a large margin.. I agree it's not really possible most of the times >.>

Here is example for you Titan HM/EX, when it go in the air all my buff are gone and then again long time to get them back..........and if u talks bout perfect balance its on long cool down lol,
Also at melee range u can still hit, melee at distance cant. learn a bit about other classes and come back

You know that Titan got a HP treshold before jumpin so you can totally adjust your rotation in order to be sure to have GL 3 refreshed right before he jump ?

Its not up to SE to balance that.

Takes way more skill to play melee than ranged honestly. If you say otherwise, you're lying to yourself.

Dude... did you even bother looking at what my main class is? Right there next to the avatar?

I uualy raid with my BRD in FC (I'm the only BRD available for Twintania) and my BLM in GF (easier to find a group). I have this lame joke :
-If you are too bad to tank, play a healer.
-If you are too bad to play a healer, play a DPS.
-If you are too bad to play a DPS, play a BRD.
-If you are too bad to play a BRD, try Hello Kitty Online.

I can see your point but here is my version.

-If your DPS is bad and doesn't improve overtime, play a healer.
-If you are too bad to healer, play a tank.
-If you are too bad to play a tank, play a BRD.
-If you are too bad to play a BRD, try Hello Kitty Online.

Harsh but quoted for truth. Thats pretty much sums up the difficulty tree.
