This thread would be better served being in the PvP subforum rather than general discussion. Was it placed here simply to generate more views? Also, I disagree that MNKs and DRGs are "bad" in PvP. You think casters are so amazing? I have to sit there and Bio, then alternate Ruin2 and Energy Drain most of the time because there's not a shot in hell I'm getting the rest of my DoTs up. If I do, it's pretty cool (no one is actively targeting me... somehow...). BLM is even less fun, getting interrupted constantly and watching people run off. Woo, gonna Scathe them to death, because any other spell I try isn't going to finish casting before they get out of range. Caster LB similarly is useless unless the whole other group is completely spaced. As a caster, I'm more scared of MNKs and DRGs than anything else on the field. If you're getting wrecked as a melee dps, you may want to try to examine why that is, because I do not believe it's because "the job sucks". It's more likely because you are running into situations without proper support and/or solo.

I mean, you said you tried to play DRG like you did WAR... Should be obvious right from the get that that's a bad idea. You're not going to tank a mob of people. Focus down people with the other dps, and don't try to tank everything.
