Thread: Concerning 1.20 and Job/Class Adjustment

Whether you consider it enough damage or not, does not make it less melee to physically punch a mob there genious.

I don't walk up to the mobs. They walk up to me. Sorry, its not my fault when I do a level or what not, but when I shoot the mobs, they tend to dislike it, thus they attack me. Since my archer does not have a forcefield to repell this, they get punched. Its just how the devs mad it, its not my fault.

I mean seriously, do you even play this game?

Umm, by YOUR definition, thats exactly what makes it a melee.
Where do you do the most of your damage, by SHOOTING the mob. By that logic, a caster is both a melee and a caster because they can hit **** with their weapon right? Which is why the debate got started about how Arc should debatably have a ranged Physical AA and Casters should have a ranged magic based AA.
Not even going to waste time replying to you again after this. Of not, I am posting facts and you are falsely pushing your incorrect assumptions and opinions as if they were fact.

Perhaps you should Look melee up in the dictionary.
1. A confussed struggle.
2. A battle, physical conflict or fight amoung several people.
3. Refers to any confused tangle or agitated scramble, in particular unordered combat.

Your falsely comming to an illadvised and incorrect assumption that melee means close range physical damage. Just because you make those, false, uneducated assumtion, and call me a troll, does not make them true.

I agree, It definently made CNJ alot more versitile in my opinion, and defined THM more as a DD.
It brought a closing of the gap in the damage in the DoW classes.
I definently feel like it was a step in the right direction for tanking as well.
All and all I do feel some small tweeks and adjustments wouldbe benefitial.
Arc got a massive nerf last update, and Lnc got a ridiculous buff. Funny how they took 1/2 the nerf Arc took and they go crazy crying about it. It definently was needed to bring them at least closer to being on par with one another.

This guy never makes a good argument.
Look at the crap he's spewing now.

A troll would make me laugh.
He is no troll. He is genuinely disturbed.

Original descriptions, are you kiddng me? original descriptions also say THM are the masters of CC and Debuffing in FFXIV as well, whats your point? Try playing the class, they punch. If we were throwing a rock we would be able to be more the one yalm away to do it. Thus we would have a ranged AA.

Also: "Melee" has been adopted and popularized as a term in war-gaming, board games, tabletop role-playing games and video games to encompass all close-quarter fighting and directly striking an opponent at ranges generally less than a few feet with, but not only, fists, feet, knives, rifle-butts or any other melee weapon or special spells or tactics with the intention of causing harm.

I said dictionary not wikipedia. Which is precisely where you got that.

Wikipedia is a free, web-based, collaborative, multilingual encyclopedia project supported by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation. Its 20 million articles (over 3.82 million in English alone) have been written collaboratively by volunteers around the world (articles not definitions or even facts for that matter). Almost all of its articles can be edited by anyone with access to the site,[It has become the largest and most popular general reference work

The definition I gave were actual facts and official definitions. not public concensus. just because 1 million people incorrectly use a word, or term the same way does not by any means make it true. Wikipedia is general reference, not always fact.

None of that changes the fact, that there was a need to level out physical damage of the DoWs, which is how this got started. Lancers all got there feelings hurt. They leveled the damage of the various DoW classes to solve the imbalance.
