Go to a pick up party and tell them I'll do ifrit as PGL. Wait for the laughs or no response....

So, again to my question. SE wants to "force" people to drag melee into fight? Two ways... Go the easy route of enemy building resistance to magic or range. Meaning the more mages or range the worse. This also means the more melee the worse.

The other idea, make them situational. How does that works, with say ifrit? easy, make the spikes un-damageble by magic or range.... EASY. Then everyone will have to drag at least one melee. Moogle? Same, make some moogles immune to magic or range... is it really that hard to implement and make fights more fun? I'm sure they can think of more ways, I did while writing this....

SE is terrible about this. I wanted to get into a Ifrit PUG as MNK and the reply was "sorry", but at least I got a reply...normally I don't even get that. I did thank the individual for at least being kind enough to give me a reply. They need to come up with better mechanics for some of these fights. That being said the community has to take some of the blame. Once a strategy is found it's pretty much locked in stone unless you have an LS that is willing to try some different strats.
