There's no utility that would guarantee our spot and no Disembowel synergy to save us. While they probably have their hands full with the NIN and SMN mess, ranged classes really deserve a band-aid potency patch like NIN and SAM.

At least a confirmation that they're aware of the imbalances would be nice. It's awful to be in the dark and not know if the feedback is reaching the devs.
Well, do you remember when Yoshida said that they couldn't gli piercing res down to ranged dps because then they'd be "too op"? It all makes sense now...they probably never meant for ranged dps to be as strong as melee dps like they were in previous expansions.
