Physical range dps damage?

[RyuDragnier]

I think range class should have same or close to the same dps damage that the close range dps has. I'm pretty sure the close range dps even has way higher defense than we do. So why does the physical range dps get the short end of the stick.

Because we can dodge everything with no real danger involved. Melee is in constant danger of being hit, ranged isn't.
