how is melee hated I haven’t had a problem, other then pushing wet noodle numbers
So one affixe that harms ranged that is easily manageable and actually it use to target melee back in legion but blizz realized how much of an issue it was for them as well changed it, still have multiple affixe that are mainly a melee problem. About the dungeon ability I have seen it happen in melee all the time and having to have the tank move the boss around the room because of that
Mages would like to talk with you 
I’m not a hardcore mythic runner, so take everything I say with some salt. But
- Aren’t affixes weekly?
- Didn’t melee dominate last seasons in M+
Mele was the only way to go in BFA, did you try levelling a caster in BFA? Elemental Shaman was brutally hard without gear, rogue was painful but bearable but other DPS specs ruled
Thats a good joke coming from a mage and the warrior whining too. How many times has ion used his beloved firemage as an example?
Utility what a joke depends the expansion removed auras and blessings then given one or the other great. Blessings with 2min gcd or 5min gcd. Ok holy power making a 3rd attempt and locking mitigation and self heals behind a 3 min holy power gate yea works great for pvp like one giant pick your own adventure do you use vindicator or hand of glory? You decide!.
Please van palies were glorified raid buffers tbc they were the most rejected class in the game wrath was the height mostly because holy vs undead and the aoe holy wrath/divine storm tier gear.
Mean while van-mop warriors could charge spam cleave tank a dungeon last time you actually had to use shield block for anything was wod. And mages my god that dang pvp talent greater pyro 200k+ spam crit that didnt even set off the incombat flash until you got hit the first time with 0 range restriction once fired it followed til hit even if you hearthed.
Incase you werent paying attention its not how you like to play its how they feel you should play.
FYI I play all classes and you 2 whining about mages and warriors is hilarious what next marks hunters?
Alright even if it favors ranged it will still go on melee which is still something melee will have to deal with. It’s not something that only effects ranged
It sounds like you’re just really bad at the game, my guy. Sorry to hear that. Perhaps you should spend more time playing the game so you can get better instead of deflecting about it on the forums.

Blizzard why do you hate us melee?
The only person whining on here is you, tho.

So your anecdotal experience invalidates another’s. No. No it doesn’t.
Let me be clear, I have no problem with feedback, and I have no problem with providing feedback about something you don’t think is working. You are being overly dramatic in your delivery though. Acting like an angry child and yelling your parent hates you because something is annoying is silly.
You should be providing feedback in a better manner. For the final time, as someone who plays both melee and ranged, both people have it hard right now. Dungeons in general are fairly challenging currently. Plenty of bosses and other rooms force ranged into melee to suffer with you such as Xav the Unfallen (which you specifically mention Theatre of Pain) and the first boss in Halls of Atonement. Other encounters do the same thing.
Chill. Breathe.
I love these threads, it devolves into a pissing contest of “who has it worse”.
Ya, no.
I was in a bg this morning guarding the middle orb holders and a MM took me from 30k to zero in one shot.
Shot through a piller while doing it too.
Also I’ll add, just for giggles, I am sitting at an unbuffed 21% versa.
I have no idea why you think I’m being overly dramatic when I’m stating it as a fact, many people have said that a lot of mechanics in raids and dungeons this xpac are heavily unfavorable to melee
I agree - just make more affoxes thst make it difficult for ranged and we’re good imo.
I already thought of one-
Obscuring: certain mobs emit a fog that cannot be targeted into from outside it (like the rogue smoke bomb.) Forces ranged to enter close range
Refracting: Certain mobs have a chance to cause magical spells to reflect as high-speed missiles of Light from above. (Forces ranged to dodge / move)
Jailing: Empowered by the Jailer, causing attacks from x distance away to occasionally cause a chain to grab the attacker, slowly dragging the target in and silencing them until broken. (Slowly pulls ranged attackers in, disrupting spellcasts and damaging them. Breakable like the chains in the Maw by shattering four pylons.)
Lol, I jest but really, they could think of some that affect ranged more.
Sounds like you hate melee, not them. If you stand in front of a moving truck, you can expect to get hit. GET OUT OF THE WAY AND QUIT WATCHING YOUR PHONE/DPS METER.
The only reason my guild allows me to be melee is because I know how to use my kick button correctly.
Rogues and Mages both have it pretty bad right now. We actually have the same 3 specs for raiding if you think about it, Above average, below average, and terrible.
I’ll give it to you that you have it worse though, we at least get to stay for the int buff and food. At least we’re both good in M+.
