NIN/DRG/WAR have been meta picks for ages, and MNK/PLD are brutal in the hands of players that know what they’re doing. SAM is still one of the strongest low rank/casual pubstompers

Melee are fine, lol. There are jobs that need tuning up, but saying melee jobs aren’t meta or weak in CC just makes 0 sense. Especially if this is low level play below crystal tier at minimum, where you can make basically any job work well by just pressing buttons and a moderate dose of getting good
