    Half of the guns aren't even rifles so the "marksman" aspect was off the shelf a looooong time ago when the class FIRST dropped.

    Also a lot of this kit reworking is just reinventing the wheel when the wheel is about as smooth and fluid as it could possibly be. None of the way the kit works should be changed, it's STRICTLY lacking in personal damage to make it more appealing to groups looking for a ranged.

    Also, HARD disagree on all phys ranged needing a faster GCD, it would make zero sense for a bow or chakrams to be thrown/drawn and fired at the same speed as Hypercharge heat blasts do with MCH's gun. Guns have ammo capacities, bows and Chakrams do not.

    I dont know what kind of Bows youre refering to, but they do have under normal circumstances, Ammo capacities as well as different types of Arrows to use. As for Dancer, i normally dont care for this Job at all, since i dont touch it ever again the moment it hits lv90, but if my mentioned suggestion also had to be inplimented into it, then in a way, where it would instead, affect the way how the dancing steps work alongside Standard- and Technical Step.

    More importantly, Guns arent suppoest to be smooth. They're robust, clunky and shoot in a straight line, they have more limitations on ammo capacity than a Bow and depending on the Weapon used, even recoil effects or in the case of a Flamethrower, actual Fire shooting at them. NONE of this is projected in any way. The sensation of a Shotgun being used in any Game, is usually tied with a Knockback effect, short range and lots of damage tied to it, it doesnt take a wizard or rocket science to figure this much out.

    As for the GCD matter, that example would be on MCH alone, and it would make sense if MCH had a 1sec GCD for example, while BRD has 1,5sec but doesnt have to deal with a Bow overheating. Also, shooting a Arrow is way slower than shooting a Gun.
