Ranged DPS, choose a weakness that would justify a buff

[Akiudo]

Actually, fflogs already gives the dps buff contribution to the originator of that buff, meaning that the 3 ranged dps are very close, especially DNC and MCH. Therefore, MCH shouldn't really be buffed. If anything, BRD should receive a very minor buff. The problem with BRD, though, is that it has a niche where it's incredibly strong: when there are 2 or 3 targets for a prolonged period of time, BRD is stronger than the other 2 ranged by a significant amount. However, in real fights, this scenario is very rare. In this savage tier, for instance, there's only e7s add phase.

looking at an all fights metric (just to smooth out outliers) bard is about 5% below mch on all percentile levels, dnc right now seems to be even weaker, either people (as i've read this argument that they are very close from multiple people, some going as far as "buff mch, the other physical are fine as they offer support") have an interesting definition of "very close" or they really think the pittance of support brd has left is worth a 5% dps gap. the physical ranged are about as "very close" to each other as redmage is to blackmage, just that in that case at least redmage offers real support (a rezz) and better consistency, and i would still argue redmage could use another 100-200 dps.
