Range dps being easier is a meme passed from other games. It's used to be true and sometimes still is in other games.

It's definitely not true in FFXIV. It's pretty much the opposite fight design-wise. I main MNK, but MCH is my second right now. Not comparing actual rotations, you definitely get more opportunity to focus the boss and not deal with some mechanics as a melee. Comparing rotations themselves never ends well because people find different things difficult. I think most would say MCH is harder than MNK though.

So if you're playing melee to feed some superiority complex, this isn't the game. You're better off channeling that energy into remembering to put on poisons once before the battle starts.

OP, It's okay to have opinions but you don't need to justify them by putting other things or people down. You're clearly still working on mastering the base mechanics of playing melee, complaining about the challenge and unforgiving nature of those mechanics while making some point that you play melee cause ranged are for noobs who take the easy way out.

You're either trolling or completely oblivious to the irony in your positions.
