Standings of Black Mage, Red Mage, and Summoner

In HW PVP BRD/MCH suffered a DPS penalty if they were not at ideal range for their Weaponskils

Should/Could some (not all) of RDM ranged spells have a similar penalty?

That'd make...no sense, unless you brought that back for MCH/BRD and gave it to SMN/BLM. They got rid of that for a reason I'd like to think lol

I'll clarify just in case the point was missed,

Black Mage performance is contingent on remaining as stationary as possible.

Red Mage is the antithesis of that concept. They already have their melee range requirement, they already are a 'positional' dependent Job. Accentuate this element further with a range positional bonus for a couple Spells. This can avoid some arbitrary potency nerf to RDM down the road.

Black Mage loses performance if they have to move.

Red Mage loses performance if they don't.

I would prefer these nuanced gains/losses for RDM over some arbitrary cut to output.

SMN has their own caveats.

I understand it doesn't make a whole lot of sense though as a gimmick. I just prefer each job to have their wheelhouse based on encounter, try to find some way to distinguish their playstyle.
