Opinions on Melee dps?

[darrow]

Leveled all my jobs to 50 but haven't really touched melee DPS since. Mulling over which to bring to 60.

While I refamiliarize myself with them would love to hear how some 60's feel about melee jobs. What do you find easy/hard or fun/annoying to play and why?

I like playing as Ninja only problem i have with it is Mudra Lag, i tried levelling DRG and MNK, DRG i just found boring and Monk was fun but alot of moving.

Same, out of all 3 melee I really enjoyed Ninja, but can't even make it the main cause of extreme mudra lag. My next bet would definitely be Dragoon, they're currently the strongest melee dpswise from what I've read, so it's a good option. But if you have little to no lag issues then I'd definitely recommend ninja.

Drg has the highest damage potential but is also most punished by mechanics with that 60s recast on botd. Ninja and monk have abilities to better recover from invulnerable periods from the boss. So smacking a dummy with a drg should get higher numbers than smacking a dummy with a ninja but that doesn't mean you will get the same results in a raid or primal.

DRG are currently the strongest dps when played well. I prefer the way Ninja flows, though. I'm lucky in that I don't have much Mudra lag, which helps. I've been debating which one to level next myself.

Just wondering why's it seem just some people get extreme mudra lag. Since I've upgraded from a ancient PS3 to a ps4 I don't seem to have lag at all not even mudra lag.

On PC, it mostly has to do with your ping. My ping is usually between 15-30, which is really good. Others aren't so lucky.

Torn between ninja and drg myself...

Love the feel and complexity of ninja, hate the mudra lag.
Love the mobility and the straight forwardness of drg but hate that everywhere you turn there's another dragoon.

What to do...

I absolutely hate positionals. So NIN seemed natural to me .... until HW hit the deck .... yup back to casters

I played Monk in ARR and now I play Dragoon in HS. It's a really fun job to play. I tried to lv up a bard once but find his gameplay really boring.
