Melee classes are sad in CC

[KickRox]

I can assure you monk isn't in as good of a place as you people say it is. They have the worst defensive capability out of all the melee jobs cause they can get CC'd before you can reactivate it, your damage is below average to the point where anything outside of the LB window is laughable and any focus on them makes them die easily.

You use Earth's Reply
You are healed for 32000 damage.
Enemy 1,2,3 & 4 take 16000 damage
You use Phoenix > Phantom
Enemy 1,2,3 & 4 take 15000 damage
(3-4 seconds of input/animation)

You just basically Sky Shattered enemies 1-4

But what about #5, the BLM at full HP that wasn't in melee range?

You use Phoenix > enlightenment > Meteordrive (2 seconds of input, 2 more in animation lock)
BLM takes 51000 damage.

Shyeaa bro, mnk is sewww trash.

Go ahead. I'll wait while you check the pvp guide and realize you haven't been utilizing MNKs most valuable tool in the kit all this time.

It's okay to be a beginner. We were all there once. But youre better off just asking people how to get better than posting in an attempt to not look like a beginner.
