Melee are only weak if A healers are garbage (lots of them) or full 72 players fighting and actually focusing in one area. They do seem to work better in battles where it is less then 16 people fighting. But SE increased mount speed so all 72 can get to any spot in less then 1 minute.



The most battle high 5s and almost always top kills are melee. MNK,NIN,and DRG always have double digit kills. It is pretty rare for any of the range jobs to top those three.
