Uh, my bad, i wanted to say "is easier to stack ranged". Yeah, i can make my own parties... if i don't care to have to wait around 2 hours to get a full party... how bad i can play 3 hours each day and i have to do dailies/roulettes... no.

And it has to be something, because you never see a party with 3 melees (Titan is the exception i see). Every single "hard battle" with more than one melee is always like "ugh... .2/3 melees... we're gonna wipe". Please, can you explain me that? People is just stupid and thinks melees are useless just because good melees are rare?

And there you go again with the negligence.

Answer is simple, elitism. And yes good "people" are rare especially when "decent players" are tossed aside because of elitist mentality. Parsers and the current end game take on difficulty spikes don't help the situation if fact it only worsens it.

Regardless an optimal set up is usually 2 melee (drg/mnk/brd) and 2 ranged (brd/blm/smn) because of diversity.

The only battle where I have really found this to be true is Garuda Ex (and maybe T4 without the balance in melee and magic). If it's happening in other fights then it's just elitism as the other poster put it.

Even if it was the case for all endgame fights, the solution would not be to buff melee, it would be to change the design of bosses.
