Ranged DPS dominating Slaughter Mode

[DividedSky]

I fail melee lb in slaughter 50% of the time. Try running into a group of 24 enemies and casting lb without getting stunned/killed/knocked back etc. Blm just sits back and BOOM. If they coordinate its BOOM BOOMBOOM and dead alliance. It requires a nerf. Nuff said.

Bunch of blm cometeor = imagine odin and hall of stone aoe spam minus the petrification.
When did blm become odin? I'll never understand.

Also can we get more stuff happening around the map?
Cuz its always
RUSH TO MID CAMP, KILL NODES AND PPL, DIE, GET RAISED OR RESPAWN AND JUMP ON PAD TO FIGHT IN MID. Its like that every match.
So se might as well just make the map the middle arena as thats where 99% of the ppl r 99% of the time as there's always that rare 1% ppl that go around the map trying to be stealthy and stuff.

There are things happening around the map that provide points and group buffs.

O lol didn't notice "any of my alliance/ party" going anywhere except the middle.
We won cuz u know we were all present and doin stuff in the middle at full power than having ppl wander off thus subtracting their fire power and utility for their overall team.
See what i mean.
Those things r just not worth the trouble getting as ur team will be outnumbered without u or whoever left.
As i said making the middle arena the whole map and making it 8v8v8 would make it a decent tdm if 90% of the map wasn't going to be used.

Actually, I have no idea what you mean. I must be getting old.

I'll bet you can tell me why the hell "Ayyy LMAO" is soo funny though.

I just decided to jump into pvp for fun. Wanted to rank up some more, I don't do it too often.

That was a mistake. Having individual limit breaks just feels like it breaks everything. Then you have teams of premades more than likely using voice communications dominating everything. This has been going on for the last 2 hours. I keep getting grouped against them. Until they fix this, pvp has lost another member. I shame, I really wanted some of those vanity items.

I am not saying Melee aren't at a disadvantage atm in Slaughter mode (they are). However, has it dawned on any of these dedicated melee players (and tanks for the matter as well), to consider banding together across their entire alliance (IE all melee from teams A,B and C) and going and working on the 'alt nodes'? Likely all you'd need is yourselves + maybe one healer and you could be better off. Let the ranged have their 'park and bark' war mid...go be effective how you can be. I'm sure some re-balancing will happen (even if the rebalancing is making the outer nodes spawn more often/worth more etc). But until then, try to come up with strategies that either work around the park and bark ranged party happening up top, or ways that might entice the casters to split up/leave the top etc.

I did my first slaughter today on DRG. Went 18-1 Best record in the whole 72 man alliance. 5 from Adrenaline kills.

I feel like maybe it was because I know how to time weaving in and out when opportunities come from other games and also being sort of experienced at pvp in this game helped that... But I can see a premade completely crushing Slaughter with 3-4 BLMs.

this i play bard so i rarely get hit by a BLM limit break but ive seen groups of ppl dropping like flies with the comet spam really imbalance imo ive said it once ill say it again no need for individual limt breaks at all ;/

Those who benefit from a system rarely see its flaws.
