Ranged DPS, choose a weakness that would justify a buff

[xxvaynxx]

Disclaimer:Let's clarify that the current DPS is balanced enough for the current content. E8S clear with double ranged (DNC/BRD) actually happened, sadly there is no clear with those two jobs before March 6 according to FFLogs. Yes, you can clear any content with BRD and DNC but it'll be ironically harder.

Hello fellow MCH/DNC/BRD,

As the title say, choose a weakness that would justify a buff, your imagination is the limit.
As the community claims, Mobility is so good that it allows us to DPS without worry and bring out the big numbers. Which never happened, Mobility has been a fake advantage and this tier proved it.
However it remains a truth that ranged jobs lacks complexity making them the DPS with the smallest variations when it comes to lower and upper percentiles.

So this is why I thought this thread could be usefull and would love to hear what you would consider a good weakness that could justify a buff.

What?? this tier doesn't prove anything. In fact. I think it proves why you don't need a buff for your mobility.
ES6 and ES8, even ES5.

i'm ok with the low damage IF they gave us (mch, bard, dancer) STRONG utility.

Dancer - Strong single target buffs

Bard - Strong group buffs and maybe a rez

Machinist - Strong long cooldown debuffs

You're basically asking for Brd/Mch meta again.
