Ranged DPS dominating Slaughter Mode

[Hiruke]

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...

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.
