Dear SE, I am a Healer

[Physic]

Please don't be deliberately obtuse.
I made my point, you just ignore it.
People don't pick BRD for their group because of it's "sub-type". They don't pick BRD because the group specifically need to fill a "role" of physical range dps.
They pick BRD because it has amazing toolkits that has nothing to do with it being a physical ranged.
Also refresh/tactician has little to do on making BRD part of the meta.

they pick bard because it has very strong support that other classes benefit from, not because of its awesome dps. Which highlights that all dps dont actually serve the same purpose.
