Ranged DPS dominating Slaughter Mode

Situational is bad. Consistency is good.

Consistency(spelling) wouldn't be an issue if you didn't share your LB with a 25k-30k damage burst. Which is why having 3 different LB in a party would solve most issues
an aoe 50% damage reduction is amazing. Just not good enough to use it over a big damage burst, but on its own that thing is amazing

Hmmm I can't say that I agree. I think it would be great if it was more frequent...kind of like protection from guild wars 2. Tank LB is the weakest of the bunch imo. It would be more useful if in addition to the damage reduction, it grants cc and debuff immunity.

But that would mostly only fix the pvp issue of it. pve wise it would be just as situational or used by overgeared group to bypass mechanic since the dps check would no longer be a problem.
I'm not saying Tank LB shouldn't change at all. but its pretty hard to make all LB equal when they all share the same bar (for pve) in slaughter they have the freedom to do whatever they want with it

LB would be better if it worked like Divine Points in Aion. They would need to change it so everyone classes limit breakers are unique though.

Most people are laughing at melee and bard acting like they care about balance while dominating secure for months telling casters to L2P.
Multiple cometor is OP but the hypocrisy is funny.
Reading about melee and bard crying over the fact they can't tunnel vision casters in slaughter is the only reason i still read this thread

By most people he refers to himself and that other awesome black mage.

Someone proposed to make the Caster LB a Single target LB, I know it would fix a lot of problem, but I feel like caster won't do their work :/
Other than make its cast time a little longer I hope they wont balance his power, something like "The center of the AoE deal the maximum damage, more far the target is and less damage he will receive",
so you won't zerg an etire party and after even a weak hit you will be unbound/awake.

Seeing as how this thread is nothing but 3-4 person arguing, most people refering as 2 person doesnt sound innacurate

3. at least 4 slots of vitality gear that is completely useless to me except for one stat.

Get crafted MND accessories, meld Vit onto them. Obviously....

Also point peeps are making is that you are calling out players who play Melee in slaughter with zero experience yourself of what they face (not talknig what experience you have in other games as that is irrelevant).

Aren't materia melds nullified in frontlines? I'm not sure I could be wrong.

I'm pretty sure they are ineffective. Ilvl 80 or less stuff may not be, I have no clue.

Reminds me, SE please raise the ilvl sync to atleast i100.
