Thoughts on Dancer as a Ranged DPS

[Sunako]

I can dig it.

Not sure that is how the algorithm woks. Caster and Ranged are in two different categories and the DF picks it as such. Ranged DPS are defined by their ability to restore MP and TP, well were.

"Physical ranged DPS attack foes from a distance. They excel at inflicting sustained damage, and also provide support for companions."

"Magical ranged DPS attack foes using a variety of arcane arts. Movement is restricted by casting times, but they excel at inflicting high burst damage."

Basic partycomposition is 1 ranged, 1 caster and 2 melee dps. However you can still run savage with 2 ranged regardless it is magical or physical because they share same position. Or even if you count only certain type it is exactly same 3/1 than 6/2. Even if you count dps number as 10 for 4 spots and 3 healers for 2 spot, healer ratio is 1.5 and dps is 2.5 that mean 40% dps players will miss party or 50% ranged players can not play their job if every job would have equally amount players like in ideal scenario. If they would release healer, healers ratio would be 4/2 tanks 4/2 melee 4/2 ranged 2/1 and caster 3/1. Trinity system would be almost balanced if they would release healer instead dps. Imo that was bad choice. Even releasing RDM during stormblood was pretty big misstake imo, because that totally messed up trinity system we currently have.
