I do a four man group with some friends. We have a CNJ, THM, LNC and me - a MRD. We all plan on going our respective classes , (CNJ-WHM, THM-BLM,LNC-DRG and me Warrior). My question is.. What is the point? I plan to do the tanky / dps sort of thing but it seems that CNJ/ THM and casters in general outshine melee to a disgusting point. I'm clearly new to the game.. my MRD is only 27 and what not but does this get ANY better at end game? Is everyone expected to just roll up a caster cause they're much better (it seems), than melee jobs.

Atm my lancer buddy and I are completely mind blown with how pathetic we are in EXP groups. We basically leech while the CNJ and THM just demolish everything in seconds. I don't even get to tank. Is there a point to continue leveling this job? Does melee have a place at end game? Or is it all full BLM/CNJ parties? lol thanks.
