All in all, your argument of "it shouldn't be unintuitive" doesn't change the fact that it indeed has often been unintuitive.
All of which can be solved by reading the tooltip. Adding the word ranged in the description isn't going to fix stupid. Also, it's a level 76 ability. People who have it are not new to the job nor should they be solidifying their rotation which is the same even when level synced to the lowest dungeons.
