I'm a melee player lmao, in case you haven't noticed from my copious posts about dragoon being kinda shit in comparison to other melee. And like I literally stated above, I don't look at my character most of the time. Camera zoomed out.
Backflipping isn't going to save you from 10+ people dog piling you.
In what way is dragoon shit? Dragoon is FAR from shit.
Only negative about dragoon is lack of cc, but other then that they're pretty solid, I'd say they're the best balanced and designed of all melee job, has the right amount of survivability/damage/mobility but none of it too much, but pvp is a team game so try and wait for an ally to hard cc something, then go ham on that target.
Great damage, no way to exert meaningful pressure alone since everyone will just walk away from you and the bind/heavy removal is tied to the strongest hit in your kit. I main dragoon lmao, but it's not hard to see why it's comparatively not that good. It's the most balanced job out there, but when most jobs have two or more ways of applying hard CC, being balanced isn't enough. I love the assassin kinda playstyle but it's kinda shit watching a bard walk away because repelling shot has a 15s cooldown while purify has a 30s![]()
Yeah I love dragoon but comparatively speaking they have no way to lock down kills alone at all. Also wish the backflip wasn't tied to wyrmwind so I could keep it up for when I really need it, not when I wanna burst someone. Meanwhile you have monks complaining they have to wait for LB to 100-0 someone lol.Only negative about dragoon is lack of cc, but other then that they're pretty solid, I'd say they're the best balanced and designed of all melee job, has the right amount of survivability/damage/mobility but none of it too much, but pvp is a team game so try and wait for an ally to hard cc something, then go ham on that target.
You have to admit if you put yourself into a situation where TWENTY FOUR people are able to target you, your probably way out of position and really should be punished for that.Its gonna make it alot harder for them to keep you pinned with the sheer amount of people stunning you, Diminishing returns will at least give you a slim chance instead of a "Welp guess ill just tab out while my character gets defeat RPed by 24 people." also if you don't care about frontlines, why are you even in this thread?
(Unless your a ninja ofc, because melee entitlement is very real in current frontlines. You can have zero situational awareness and still win most fights, just by coasting on 60% damage reduction, good escapes and high damage even at range.)
Meanwhile bards are hitting like 1k in frontlines(like I think it actually tickles melee and they seem to enjoy laughing at anything that isn't another melee because they're not even a threat).
Dancers risk more going into melee than actual melee classes for much less damage. Like I respect dancers playing in frontlines, whereas playing melee is like playing Frontlines with training wheels on. Want to yolo that base? Go right ahead Mr ninja! It's babies first pvp, have a blast!
Ninja's kit is way too stacked, ESPECIALLY for the 60% DR. They really should've done it on a more individual basis rather than slapping a flat DURR 60% on all melee. It's bullshit but only shows how little of a shit they give about this incarnation of pvpYou have to admit if you put yourself into a situation where TWENTY FOUR people are able to target you, your probably way out of position and really should be punished for that.
