yea, kinda Wind Line has some useful stuffs for melee too. But well, I play in team mostly. But if that's what you want, gl.

The bottom line is that the OP is just being arrogant and is crying like a baby because s/he could not dominate RA just by himself. Guild Wars is a team game, if you expected to win every RA match by yourself maybe you should play another game. Every character, every build in this game have a purpose, and it does not give you the right to complain just because there is a build/class out there that counters yours.

P.S There are other things you can do to help your team other than killing things. I play sin in RA too, and when i get shut down by a anti-melee i just spam siphon speed around or body block to slow down other team's melee so my monk can kite. Or I use siphon speed to slow the monk down so other melee char on my team beat the monk down. And when the hex wears off, i just jump the anti-melee guy.

I'd have to agree and I've tried debating this before, however, no one seems to understand that even though this game is a team effort, you lack the ability to avoid these circumstances. There are too many things that makes it hard for a warrior to even hit anything now days. However, excuse me but half of the people posting in this thread lack intelligence and good advice.

You're basically telling the OP poster to eliminate half their skill bar, or ruin any hope of surivival to use mediocre skills that just...suck. Most of the hex removal have high recharge times, and the hexes themselves have low recharge times. It's pointless.

This is actually sort of a legitimate complaint.
Anti-melee skills are a bit overmuch against melee (hopefully).
The suggestions, so far, are take-care-of-it-yourself and get-some-teammates, or be-frustrated-and-live-with-it.

However, most Hex removal simply isn't enough to power through the number of hexes that you'll be dealing with, and running things like taking 3 slots to deal with hexes (and not conditions), losing all your energy to deal with them and only every 20 seconds, and using elite slots to deal with them seriously screw up your melee-ing.
Furthermore, in RA, relying on your teammates means relying on luck at getting a monk at all.
So, you cannot remove them, you cannot get someone else to remove them, so you just get to be frustrated, often indefinately shut down until the caster is killed (by aforementioned relied-upon teammates/luck).

The complaint is at least somewhat legitimate. There just isn't an effective solution aside from being really, really lucky.

Because balancing things based on RA is pro, mirite?

Even if Lorde is whining, i'd at least agree with him on those two points :

-The game makes it hard on attackers, and meleers have it even harder.

and

-Being caster looks like a wiser approach.

Stop playing RA if you don't like melee hate.
Or Assassin's Remedy + Purge Sig.
Last time I heard, Purge Sig is a signet. Meaning you can switch to a lower energy weapon cast it, and go back up.
Also, if you don't want that setup, then just maintain Veil on yourself and bring an interrupt. Or Veil+CoP.
Or stop playing RA.

HALP HEXES R SHUTTING DOWN MAH SIN, CANT 12345 KILL

Try playing a necro or ele with a magebane ranger within earshot range for a whole new definition or frustration.

Sometimes, I think Magebane Shot is all which holds the total caster domination. I think Anet won't change the skill (yet) because if it did, there would be no reason to NOT play a caster.

They should unlock Ursan Blessing for RA. Because anti-melee is frustrating, and unbalanced against melee classes. That would only be fair.

edit: Sarcasm, I like to demonstrate absurdity by being absurd.
