Which jobs is at its prime?

[Akiudo]

There is currently a quite strong request that physical ranged jobs should be buffed but it has not been acknowledged.

to be fair, part of that may be because you also got a lot of players that act like if you give mch another 200~ dps and get the other physical ranged up to the same level no one will take anything but 4 phys ranged anymore, and considering we have the god decided setup of 2/1/1 to adher to at all costs (because thats how the game started out, so of course its intendet that it stays like this forever no matter what, also just look how square offers 4 spots close to the boss for most mechanics) its also unnecessary to buff the physical ranged either way as the 1% dps buff they offer simply for being taken barely makes up for their sucky numbers (possibly, at least in bards case most definately not but whatever) and if anything a slight caster nerf would fix all problems for the physical ranged as that would get us back to our god intendet times of 2/1/1 putting phys ranged in the same boat as casters regardless of being ridiculously overtaxed for their mobility....


that aside, class design wise i think we should cut the developers some slack at least, it indeed often is not easy to know just what to do with a class, because people want different things, and change for the sake of change generally is a bad idea, extreme cases like monk most likely being the exception.
