Idea: Split Archer into Bard and Ranger

[Aiselia]

Gameplay and performance are hand in hand can't seperate them.

Incorrect, gameplay and performance aren't hand-in-hand. A 60 MNK that's wearing ilvl 1 costume gear will have terrible performance because they don't have any stats aside from their base stats, but they'll play exactly the same as a level 60 MNK that's wearing ilvl 200.

But then by your logic, you agree that class is more important than job when it comes to gameplay because your performance wouldn't be anything on a Monk without GL which is a class trait, not a job skill. And your performance on a BLM would be garbage without AF/UI, which is a class trait, not a job skill.
