Melee Positional Requirements

[RiceisNice]

Then why do good BRD and MCH's completely outclass good melee DPS in damage? This just isn't true.

That assumption though.

On a serious note, though, the other factor is uptime. Consider this; I typically beat out melee in damage dealt by maybe 10k per match, but I'm attacking much more frequently than they are. They have the burden of staying within range on their targets, and rarely do they ever stand still to act as a dummy (unless they're casting)
