Melee classes are sad in CC

[KageTokage]

There are a lot of jobs that can pop off under optimal circumstances, but the problem lies in the fact that things like CC spam or even just aggressive focus-firing can very easily throw a wrench in your gameplan.

RPR is another example of a job with an extremely high burst damage ceiling but it can almost never make practical use of it due to how many conditions need to align without it being interrupted.

It's precisely why NIN is so good compared to the other melee because they can dump 30K+ damage in the span of two GCDs with basically no set-up involved then delete you with their LB afterward...which is made worse by the ones that are cheating with auto-LB scripts as you have literally no time to use Recuperate after getting pushed into the instakill threshold.
