So you're telling me..

Dragoon is in no way shape or form hard to play. The fact that you have some weaves between the 2.45-2.48 gcd it’s running doesn’t make it so. Ninja is not hard to play. None of the melee are hard to play. The skill representation for melee is in uptime and being able to maintain your rotation during mechanics. For reaper, who doesn’t really have a rotation, it is in properly setting up your burst windows for the encounter. It is what their DPS relies on. Shrouding whenever it’s available is not how to properly play it usually. There is a lot of risk in that, because its shrouded abilities comprise the majority of its DPS.

People keep bitching about reaper and it’s likely the more fine tuned job at the moment. It’s kit is also solid, but not perfect. People bitching about AC like reapers are using it to help the raid usually. They aren’t. The ones who are using it often are primarily using it to allow themselves to eat certain mechanics to maintain uptime.

I'll copy paste my last comment where you asked me how is reaper easier than other melees and then you ignored my answer

"Well, having played drg, sam and reaper at max level the first thing which i think is pretty objective is the fact that reaper plays a lot slower, if you look at average casts per minute its the lowest of the melees, which makes it feel less involved, very few ogcds to press so you can focus easily on mechanics.
Also, because of the double gauge system you get to decide where to spend and do positionals, which is an upside other melees dont have, for now it doesnt matter that much, but in more challenging content i think it will be really good.

Getting into specifics about rotations of each job requires an essay i feel like, your question is really loaded, dont you think the fact that the lower player skill is, the better reaper performs comparatively is a sufficient indicator?"

These are random things man, but you cant deny that players that play less optimally on reaper, have comparatively way better results than the ones playing not optimally on other classes, if that is not reaper being easier to do well on, what is it?
How is it currently "fine tuned" if its just the best lol? If you mean playstyle wise, i dont think anyone here is trying to change that, if you mean performance wise, then idk what to say

Nah, never boosted melee or tanks. Boosted the shit out of healers and ranged though. You’re not even worth my time. I’d love to run content with you on any job you choose and wipe the floor with you though.
