Ranged DPS dominating Slaughter Mode

[Evtrai]

funny how you say blms are fine in secure but yet reply with sarcastic drivel about them in slaughter. DPS are fine in slaughter, we dont need to nerf anything because the majority of OF posters cant play to save thier life.... literally. BLMs got nerfed and nerfed the first round because of crybabies like you, and now they can actually keep up, boooohooo drgs die before healers now, WE GOTTA NERF EVERYONE. The system isnt the problem, the lack of skill is.

Dude, the only crybaby here is you crying being afraid of a incomming balancing of something that has already been said it's not working as intended, you sound more like the crybabies when infinite sleep chain was nerfed, THAT was broken, infinite CC is NOT balanced and IT'S was design flaw, no competent MMO with PVP has these kind of broken of CC infinite loop mechanics, well, I guess except Aion, but you can see how well that's doing.

blah blah blah

I know you are but what am I? really? how old are you? Caster LB is a tickle, have better healers if its such a problem. I know it will be nerfed, not because its needed but because most of you wouldnt know balance if it bit you in the butt. Maybe if more people actually looked at the kill count instead of the damage you would realize that damage means squat if you dont actually kill the person, which caster LB doesnt even come close, but wait! your just going to come back with the same excuse, casters can stack the LBs........ SO CAN MELEE, so again, if you refuse to learn the game and just want to nerf things you cant accpet or grasp fine, enjoy the continuous decline of people in pvp, for the rest of us that can actually learn and adapt, we will enjoy the pvp now until the OF babies get yet another thing in this game handed to them for just logging in.

Listen. I play a SMN in PvP. Yet i KNOW the caster LB is overpowered at the moment.

STOP. DEFENDING. BROKEN. THINGS.

What part of not working as intented do you not understand? the cast is happening faster than it should, thus giving people no reaction time even more taking account the latency, and this is being abused by having multiple blm's in the party.

I'm even having trouble trying to make sense of what you are trying to say, something about melee LB?, but let me give you some tips:

- Melee LB has a long cast time, you can make them WASTE their adrenaline bar by just moving a few steps away from them.
- Melee LB is a single target attack.
- Melee have to be infront of you like 3 steps from you to cast it.
- You can use Scathe which is an instant attack to interrupt their LB.

Hopefully these tips will help you improve as a player that is blalantly obvious is the one that doesn't know how to play the game correctly, or perhaps think more than a mindless thrall, seeing only flaws that affect them. Mind you, I don't even player a DPS class for PvP. Kek

I'm not here to argue what's imbalanced or not, but you are kinda downplaying how good the melee lb is. Unless you have like no lag at all, it is literally impossible to dodge. I run like a crazy distance behind the guy and still get hit. It is definitely not 3 steps. It's basically a free kill, whereas you can at least dodge a caster lb especially when they slow it down with the hotfix.

Plus the melee usually stuns before it, and a gap closer makes any distance negligible. It's a mechanic where someone less skilled can easily kill a skilled player for free, and that's not good for PvP.

Both LBs need to be slowed down, as both dps LB are broken as hell.

Yet it's not a AoE LB, you can't wipe a party or the majority of it with chain melee LB's, unless you have your oponents being played by dogs and have absolutely no reaction or awareness at all.

Which is why both LBs need a nerf to their damage. The Aoe LB shouldn't be able to wipe a party, and the melee LB shouldn't be a skill balancer and a free kill for someone less skilled.

Right? I'm glad that you agree with me not defending broken mechanics, I'm neither downplaying melee LB's but actually detailing what I do against melee's, as a ranged caster, this obviously doesn't apply with a melee against another closer range dps/tank. Unless you are of course one of those blms that for some bizarre reason decide to run into a group of players cast aetheric field and manage to make a run trip back home unscratched.

So youre saying that coordination is killing you, well maybe if YOU DID THE SAME you can kill them before you, geesh its not like casters are teh only ones that should work together..... you have 3 dps with bars full? guess what, you just took out 3 healers, the dps will fall in seconds. Learn some basic strat before you call the nerf wagon.

Finally someone that gets it.
