No, melee that open with charge and force choke me right after aren't my problem. It's the ones that don't click and keyboard turn when I keep running through them.

You have twice the CC of the average ranged class. And ranged classes have chance on proc snares which makes kiting a game of luck for them so most don't even try. I forgot to add that melee have knockbacks as well. You can add that to their CC list. I'm noticing a lot of melee are opening with charge. Probably shouldn't do that, because once you are on a ranged class and they blow their one knockback, you simply charge them and that's it. They're done. Let's just say they stun you and try to run even though they are snared, you choke or sprint back to them and they are done again and by that time you should be immune to CC. It's really that easy.

Yeah Ops aren't too bad. They don't have near the consistent damage or utility that the other melee have. And to the poster who claimed tracer missile was more OP...wow lol. Just no. Tracer missile crits me for 2k. And it can be LOSd and interrupted. If you're a marauder or jugg and you are losing to a grav spammer, you need to rethink your playstyle.

Bad melee say the opposite. It's ridiculous how many "buff marauder" threads I've seen on here where the OP didn't even know about their healing debuff or the auto trauma debuff. Ranged are just turrets in this game.

Title says it all. While most of you who play melee are terrible, what I've noticed in my short time spent in the level 50 bracket is the blatant separation in performance of skilled melee and skilled ranged players. Melee classes dominate this game, which is typical for a brand new game. Melee classes are hard to balance because of their need to chase their targets, so it is a very difficult to reach an equilibrium to where a ranged class actually has a chance of survival versus a melee class and vice versa. Currently, melee have arguably the best CC, EXTREMELY short cooldowns on their gap closers, and some of the most reliable roots and snares in comparison to other classes, interrupts and some of the highest DPS in the game. Ranged classes (with the exception of inqs/consulars) are lucky to have one knockback and one stun and MAYBE a snare that is NOT on demand. What does all of this mean? It means that in most environments, the ability for ranged to kite melee is completely impossible. Melee are seeing likely around 80-90% uptimes on their targets which is absolutely unacceptable considering their comparatively high DPS. TL;DR: I know it is difficult to balance melee, I've played games where melee were terrible and I've played games where ranged only served as free HKs for melee classes. This game is definitely the latter.

It's resolve! I have no idea how you could mix those up!

So you come to the forums to complain about healing being overpowered, yet you don't even have the most basic knowledge of the mechanics that you are complaining about. Welcome to the forums.

Buffed melee, nerfed ranged. Wonder what you play.

What was that now?

Good question. It has been a HUGE mistake for me so far. The implications of a severe faction imbalance are far-reaching and it plagues every phase of my game-play. And the worst part is that they haven't shown the slightest interest in remedying it. In fact, they have instead chosen to enable it by creating ANOTHER same-faction PvP warzone.

Agree. The amount of CC in this game is absolutely disgusting. Why is there a two-minute cooldown on the CC break? With this insane amount of CC it needs to be 30 seconds at MOST.

Implying inqs or bhs take skill Implying these arent the chumps in full BM because they are the ones who farmed lowbies Implying you arent an idiot

Not like this though. Usually like 4 of them. But so far at 50 all I've been hit with is tracer missile and lightning spam. Kinda crappy.

Played 2 WZs Lost both Last Empire team composition (including players who left): 7 inqs, 3 BHs, 1 Agent I can tell already this will be a lot of fun

The issue will be resolved

And that, among other reasons, is why LOTRO is free to play. No one likes paying for a game they can't even play because they spend over half of their time in warzones stunned/rooted/incapacitated/snared/all of the above.

Cannot do that while stunned

It baffles me that mages have been OP since I have been playing that game and they keep buffing them every patch. Just nothing but pure, unadulterated derp.

Your lightnings hitting for 500 a tick? Maybe you should have chosen at advanced class at level 10.

Yeah, when my resolve bar turns white it gives me a chance not to be stunned, not immunity.

jesus christ. i felt like i was the only one who felt this way. many people say that healers are the alpha class and such, but we aren't. I spend a lot of time stunned or incapacitated in WZs

6 hours of combined CC time ITG 10 seconds of resolve immunity Might be cool!

Haha. I get that a lot when healing. They will never stop trying to kill you if you heal.

What server do you play on?
