Meleewalker to Meleetrail

[Lanvaldear]

Are we transitioning from Meleewalker straight into Meleetrail?
Another xpac of ranged being second class citizens?
Too early to tell but I'm placing my bets on it.

Sigh, don't worry us healers have the bench already warmed up

The game's unwillingness to tune mobility and utility to their actual worth and instead just destroying the job's damage is one of my least favorite things about this game.

I'm still wrapping my head around them reworking SMN the way they did when they knew they were going to make it terrible lol

Machinist's been there for awhile.

It's not too early. Dawntrail is continuing most of the trends Endwalker created. Highly reactive boss design, extremely tight mechanics that don't play nicely with ping (especially orb mechanics...) that occasionally fire out of order. And, oh yeah, the devs giving everyone with a cast bar the middle finger.

It seems they want mDPS to be stronger than rDPS and cDPS, and they're designing fights that will give even Samurais and Reapers pause. So, yeah, meleetrail. Screw casters and cater to melee, the expansion, version 2.0.

You're getting mixed up with Pictotrail. Don't worry, you definitely still have options available to you if you're only able to keep up with sub-30 APM caster gameplay with scheduled coffee breaks between button inputs. Yoshi-p was always going to look out for his main role.

I don't think so. the new raid fights are complete ASS as a melee. Can barely hit the things.

Not too early, even if some bosses don't allow for full melee uptime, it'll only make melee dps go down to ranged dps level while still being king in all other bosses.
And they removed even more positionals because wall bosses and true north was not enough, so melee is even easier than before.

I love ranged complaining about melees when they got it way easier in every single aspect in this game

[Valence]

What would it take for melees to actually shut up about rphys being "easier" than melee for once? Harder rotations (because ohboy, melee rotations are hard amaright)? Even if you make it galaxybrain people would still say rphys players are second rate players. Or maybe cast times so there is only casters and melees left? What do you want us to be?
