Melee classes are sad in CC

[Llynethil]

Can someone explain to me why ranged jobs have any CC whatsoever? I just can't wrap ahead around the logic that an archetype that plays at range also needs to the ability to bind, silence, heavy or stun melee. Also, why do range magical need gap closers exactly, on top of CCs and shield?

Because all melees have gapclosers with low cd, it's that simple, that and they have better self healing, are tankier and have more damage while also having cc themselves.

If you take away cc from ranged jobs, you have to remove every single gapcloser from melee to compensate, otherwise noone would ever play a ranged job ever again in pvp.

Go and play a machinist or a dancer without using cc againt any melee right now, see how far you'll get with that.

You can go 1v3 as a nin right now, get a kill and still run away with little effort or problems, try going 1v3 as a ranged lol.
