Its not just me though. Anytime I see anyone obliterate its a mage or ranger. No warriors.
-_- And I mean they obliterate. Like one person basically wins the 3v3 for them. Seen in many times.

It's kind of True, ranged always have the inhered advance of attacking from afar while melee .. well.. they gotta get close.

correct.

also correct in any PVP game ranged will always have the first strike unless you can sneak up on them or stealth or have some form of evade/block

you will also need some form of teleport or something to get to them then you need cc or something to stop them running away and kiting you when you do get to them.

meanwhile range don't have to do all that simply point and shoot

Ahh classic nukers, squishy, glass cannon mages you have just one shot to take em down, truth is that mages/nukers and archers with silly critical rate are the first choice for unexperienced players and those who want ez wins.

your bad at this game because you're only talking about one weapon,

what kind of great sword user are you?

Me? I'm an Outrider and i have NO problem taking down a mage because they can't escape my 4 + charges and movement speed increasing abilities.

yooo wtf , in evert single arene there is that one dagger/gs who come oneshot , no breath to do anything , i tried full strength build, full defensive on my specialisation and skill choice , but still nothing , my only choice left is building gear than lean to a full melee evasion , because those sneaky beachez hit really hard , while the tanks , i tickle them while they do really hurt , im pissed , and i want to go create another melee character , im only happy with my mage in pve farm

[Label07]

The biggest problem is the tab targeting, it's horrible. I just want it to always select the nearest target not try to be smart about it...
As for mages, or any ranged for that matter, it's incredibly easy mode to just kite. Even with blues you probably won't have much if any magic endurance or evasion so they have free reign. It is rather absurd. Not to mention all the PVE events where you tag mobs anybody ranged has a huge advantage on melee.

[ministrog]

so play ranged to then be "allowed" to farm and gear for melee. something seems wrong here lol.

What's your second weapon? Dagger?

Just saying "Greatsword User" or "Staff User" is meaningless. Your build is 2 weapons.

Staff/Bow - The consensus is terrible at small scale pvp, great at large scale.

Staff/Dagger - Great at small scale good at large scale.

These are entirely different builds.

Greatsword/Dagger is great at small scale PvP.

[bruh]

well yea it's a combat system focused around standing still and where mellee players has to be in dic/k sucking range, going mellee in such combat is the worst idea you can have.
