Melee classes are sad in CC

[Gserpent]

Mostly because we're constantly trying to play the "keep away" game from ranged DPS who just run away spamming their moves. Hence why you se mostly BRD/MCH/BLM/SMN. You'll see some DRG/MNK/SAM sprinkled in now and then. Meanwhile I play my favortie job RPR and i'm about worthless cause half my kit is locked behind Immortal Sacrifice stacks and my LB gives Hysteria... so when I use it, I shoot myself in the foot cause they run away from me and I have to catch up to them.

Your LB cancels Guard, cannot be purified, forces movement away from the cast location (such as, say, the crystal during overtime) and has a very short charge time.

I think you'll be okay.

This thread as a whole is basically "Bronze melee players giving their opinions on the world," lol. Melee is perfectly fine. Any problems you're experiencing are PEBKAC errors, not real errors.

The Cancel Guard is about the only useful part. Who cares if it's a 5 second Hysteria, like it matters when they just turn around and shoot back or use movement rushes. The Hysteria is useless, because by the time you've caught up to them running, it's gone and they can just fire back. The Hysteria only helps when they are being target by your teammates, and they can't fight back, so good luck unless your a premade in voice chat for call out. Though i'm sure it's "good" that's why there is a whole mess of Reaper players in PvP. Oh wait... there isn't. It the most rare job to see. Gee, I wonder why?
