You dont seem to understand the basic disparity here. It doesnt matter if the melee has to actually think about the danger at close range - it affects the party negatively. Why would healers not prefer a ranged dps where they dont have to heal through the dmg that melees take from vulcan. Why would tanks not prefer to have more ranged where they dont even have to pay attention to cleaves? Its funny that you mention chimera. That fight has less things to worry about in melee range, since voice of ram should be stunned by the OT. You know what my FC does? We stack all ranged at melee range.

Ranged can attack at both close and range, melee only at close - choose your position accordingly. Healers have to heal more, tanks have to worry more about position. How can you not see the disparity here?
