Ranged DPS dominating Slaughter Mode

[Red_Wolf]

you don't need an alliance of black mages to kill a single melee, kill them just the same no matter how many people are around you.

In small groups, melee don't have to retreat when they're being focused. There is no way ranged can burst them down with the amount of interrupts they have to deal with. So melee have little to no threat. You said yourself that you get to "run around wild".

Remember Secure? The melees swarm the casters until one of the team's casters/healers are dead. Then whoever has the last healer standing wins.

There's really no convincing you otherwise is there? lol

I cannot tell a lie.

Yes they do. The threat is quite considerable actually.

Uh, what are you rolling? One caster and 0-1 healer?

"run around wild"

It's an expression that means they don't have to worry about a column of 10+ back-liners instagibbing them.

We have different experiences of Secure. For my team, stacking either melee or ranged has never been optimal for us. Ever.

Well stop whatever it was you were doing in the small instance and go kill the caster. They are the ones that either have to run away from you or cast pathetic instants on you when focused.

It is just absurd to come on here and claim melee does anything but dominate small Slaughters and Secure. In the larger Slaughter casters have enough space to actually cast so you can't run around wild. You have to retreat when being focused. EVERYONE stacked melee in Secure. There was no point in playing BLM unless you were happy doing CC exclusively. You saw about one in a 24 person raid and summoners were almost non-existent.

EVERYONE needs help when being focused lol. No one's gonna target your casters if you have a sufficient number of healers. And if they are, then who cares, the caster is doing a good service keeping your backbone alive.

Really now, I have a ton of scoreboard screens of Secure showing our BLM topping on damage. It's even scarier when he gets paired with our SMN. Hold whatever opinion you want on the matter, just know that your opinion is based on the bads.

There are great BLM's out there. It's just a shame that it only takes a mediocre melee to completely shut them down and kill them.
