More over, the bursts are often during a 10-15s window.

And the one you quoted probably talked about making room for double ranged rather than locking out double ranged from PF.

The problem with ranged right now is that they're only necessary for the 1% stats your get for having one job of each role (ranged, caster, melee, healer, tank)
And no, the BRD&MCH were "top meta" in HW mostly because of the piercing Debuff provided by the dragoon.
I wasn't talking about the cooldown. But I actually don't remember how long hypercharge was if I'm totally honest but pretty sure it was longer than TA as in the debuff.

And thanks for stating the obvious and just furthering my point on creating an imbalance. BRD and MCH don't need drg anymore now, so lets say if BRD and mch still had their buffs back in the good ol' HW days.
The meta would most likely be BRD/MCH/NIN and probably BLM since they're the strongest ST dps in the game.
And I actually don't see groups locking out two physical range, heck I cleared ES7 with two physical range.

The only people locking out those jobs are the same people that was locking out samurai's in SB and Nin in early SHB. Those people are the minority.
