But you DO offer support. AS a mobile class. Well, you did.

A boss can move around, have aoe's down, and your dps wouldn't drop for the last 3 years meanwhile a melee or caster HAD to move which would cause their dps to drop.

AS A MOBILE class, you also had support spells that affected the ENTIRE PARTY and not a single person as long as you had mana. It wasn't a cooldown, it wasn't an immediate buff, it was a buff centered around you.

As a mobile, ranged class, your dps should not be higher than a melee. That's just that. Square Enix balances the game that way and it makes sense. If you did just as high or higher, party finder would be filled up with BRD, MCH, SMN onry parties.

Don't attack me for my opinion but the logic behind why ranged (mobile) dps classes makes sense and I back it up. If you want close to melee, that's what Gauss/WM are for. :P
