Melee are not god skilled, stop with that nonsense.
Because fights being designed around 2 melee is best and that's what's been done. When you have fights like that, that require uptime strats, casters/ranged trivialize it. If SE starts designing raids around triple ranged (double caster + ranged) then anybody that brings double melee will be at a big handicap. Melees have it the hardest and as such raids designed around them. 4 melees (tanks + double melee) and 4 ranged (healers + ranged + caster). Ideal balance.

SE just overtuned SMN a bit, but I'm sure they'll nerf them again later and put them more in line with other jobs, considering their relative position hasn't changed since their nerf.
