Return of Reckoning

To counter a lot of the arguments basically revolving around:

"WELL THIS CLASS HAS THIS, WHY AREN'T YOU UPSET ABOUT THAT?" or,
"THERE IS A MIRROR FOR WL, SO ITS FINE!"

The point I'm trying to make here is that this ability shouldn't be acceptable on either classes. It completely dodges the entire concept of a melee DPS. We shouldn't be talking about what other classes have and what they don't have. Additionally, just because a mirror ability exists, that does not make this ability acceptable. I'm not sure why I didn't notice this on live, but because of the level situation ROR is in right now, Maras and WLs are using it to gain cheap kills.

Wait a minute, why does having a root "dodge the entire concept of being a mdps"?

You misunderstood. The problem is that the root can be used from a range of 65ft. As far as I'm concerned, 65ft isn't melee.

And people dont usually go around mutating their arms into deadly weapons or have a pet white lion and jumping superpowers.

if this entire thing is about what you believe mdps are, good **** luck, there is a lot of things that arent strictly melee in melee classes, welcome to Mmos created after Everquest.

So you agree with me? Also that was just an awful post, I'm looking for logical discussion here.

If logic to you is that mdps should not have anything outside melee range, we are in for a treat.

So then define the distinction between melee and ranged DPS.

One does mostly melee damage, one does mostly ranged damage.

That wasnt hard was it?

You aren't insulting anything but your own intelligence. Not wasting my time with this.
