Is ranged support dps needed as a job type anymore?

[Rika007]

Notice its only ranged who say the free movement is pointless and shouldn't be counted against them.

Try having to stand still and do mechanics when the fights are HARD. Sure you have them memorized now and are over geared.

Literally did an entire Savage tier on the most un-mobile job in the game (WHM). Did all 3 casters for 3 other tiers. Cleared all those tiers in less then a month each time and that wasn't with hard progging every week either. And played all of them at a pretty decent level too.

So saying this as a Bard main who has played on jobs that "have to stand still and do mechanics when the fights are HARD" and do them when I did not have them "memorized" or was "over geared" let me be very explicit here. Free movement means absolutely NOTHING in this game.
