Casters: 13.5k
Ranged: 13k.

This ensures that a standard comp with 2 melee, 1 caster and 1 ranged is the optimal one.
The absurd thing is that right now they're talking about how sam can make the most out of party buffs (we're talking about a 200-300 dps advantage here) when we have jobs with almost 2k rdps difference.
A whole 1k penalty for the Ranged DPS huh?

I don't think everyone's going to agree with that one.
