DNC AoE Question

[Crushnight]

It seems the job has been designed around being up close a lot of the time to and the dashes help get far/close as needed so i'm fine being a more melee range ranged dps XD it sorta gives a more unique feel to the role since brd/mch didn't have this dependency outside their spam gcd AoE

How do you all feel about a Ranged class' AoEs only having melee range?

I've never really thought of ranged classes as job that 'need to attack from a long range' but jobs that use range as a tool to their benefit, like how melee use positionals. Ranged are able to function outside of the scope of a lot of AoE attacks, kite enemies, etc. A ranged DPS should never be so far away anyway, or they're out of range of the healers.

Both BRD and MCH's AoE's also require melee range btw, they're point blank cone AoEs.

Honestly probably going to be playing DNC mostly within Melee range anyway since it has Support AoEs around itself, and doesn't really have any reason to stay at range.

Edit: Also as stated by Hyo below Flourish procs shouldn't be wasted and some are Melee range. /shrug
