Now we can argue that we always want to have both ranged and melee dps (I'm not sure if that is true tho) and in that case at the list BRD/MCH compete with all the other current ranged dps classes for a spot. I just don't see why people still think BRD/MCH is its own category that for balance discussion can only be compared to each other.

Like if a BRD is brought to a raid right now it is because the sum of its damage output (personal and from support abilities) makes it desirable and not because it is a "required" class.
I cant think of a "required" class honestly. What are the required classes? The meta?
