Why melee classes gets the short end of the stick in MMORPGs? Anonymous 12/30/17 (Sat) 12:54:08 b3dae7 No.14067907

Range and spellcasting classes are always capable of massive damage in most MMORPGs in existence, but it's always, and I mean ALWAYS that melee classes that always have to struggle in dealing even the decent amount of damage, even with proper gear. Why this is mostly the case? How this injustice always gets put aside? How did this always happens in MMORPGs? Care to explain it to me because I'm still baffled by it.

Cause blocking doesn't work.

I haven't played a lot of MMOs but in most of them melee is pretty damn strong.

Try PSO2, it has fists and swords and shit and all of it is fucking awesome.

For mmo that is.

Devs are generally fags and fags are generally casters. That or they're the bow-niggers. Damage is honestly usually not the problem, though I've seen it be the problem for some MMOs or some classes in some periods of some MMOs where it was generally alright. The main thing I find is that usually ranged characters and mages end up with more utility with equatable damage, presumably due to it being easier to conceive of justifications for that utility in something handwavey like magic where melee is just bigger swords and bigger numbers and maybe some snares/gap closers. It's cool though, because melee that still manages to shit on casters will always be the #1 source of salt in MMOs and you should be proud for being able to go harvest it on a whim.

Warriors in GW have one of the highest damage outputs. Their only downside is that it requires them getting into melee, which can put them at a disadvantage in some cases.They have one of the highest resistances to damage as well, so they get to be the tank and DPS at the same time.
