This post should just happen again.
So here it is.

It's just horrible how melee has a huge disadvantage in slaugher mode. Today I joined a slaugher as Ninja, and I was the only melee dps in my whole alliance. It was filled with BLM, SMN and BRD.

Mage LBs everywhere.

How did SE not see this comming...

Allright. Will try that next time.

Thanks for tip. I hope it will make Slaugher a bit more enjoyable as melee next time.

But it's pretty amazing how casters are at a huge disadvantage in Secure mode, amirite? I like how no one cares that playing a caster in Secure completely sucks, but oh my god they aren't totally awful in Slaughter so let's make sure melee is the only way to go yet again. It's not like melee can't wreck faces. They can still blow up nearly anyone super quick, especially if they coordinate. Ranged just seems ridiculous because once you have 24 people together, ranged actually has enough dps to (coordinated) murder someone before the healer can heal the bejesus out of them, just like melee could always do. Nerfing Cometeor isn't going to solve this, FYI.

I bet the melees crying are the same ones telling casters to L2P in secure

Fact.

Mmm I noticed a LOT of BLM in Slaughter mode, expecially in the 72 men version, up to me there they really rule cause of lag (you won't be able to dodge any Cometeor) and using Flare during node is really a easy mode to get random kills, get a buf and repeat to get more buff.

But to be honest I noticed more than a time a brainless play from my enemies, like following you in the middle of your alliance even a tank can't survive, I tried lot of classes and as ninja I can say that is not so bad to get kill I just killed who enter "my zone" for following one of my focus fired ally and meanwhile killing drones.
I have to understand if melee has really some kind of problem or they say it because they is acting in the wrong way in this content :/

Sorry but if you sort by damage and kills and the top 8-20 are all the same class.
you know you have an imbalance happening.
