Is this really FUN in 2012 ?! A reassuring Dev's answer if possible?

That's true Jinko but the problem is you can just throw 6 archers @ it which is dumb. They need to make close range DD do hell of a lot more dmg or make more traps from ppl who like to sit back and fiddle their thumbs.

Well the close range melee can do all the damage in the world, it doesn't matter if they're dead. Dead players don't win boss fights. They need to stop making combat so hazardous to non tanking melees or start making it a hell of a lot more dangerous for ranged. It's the content, not the classes themselves, that is the problem here imo. There's just as many ways to make a fight equally lethal for ranged classes, but SE just doesn't seem to have had that epiphany yet.

Ifrit can be lethal to ranged.

Coincounter can be lethal to ranged if they don't watch what they are doing. (people stack ranged in that fight because melee just seem to be slow when it comes to running out of danger)

That's not the prob the prob is WHM/CNJ's cant even bother to heal melee if they take dmg. with pld you do not need 2 whm/cnj to heal a tank pld can heal for 1k hp its self almost. The thing with ppl using all archers/blm cause they can't heal more than one person cause most whm's fail. Jinko is one the best whm's i played with he heals everyone and does not die for it. Like i said this problem lies within the community it's self.
