    I'll never stop pointing this out:
    Mobility tax makes no sense in 6.X context. It made sense before but now melee and caster gameplay are easier than before:
    -The bosses hitboxes are insanely large
    -Many mechanics are adjusted so that Melees still gets uptime.
    -Positionnals are not a big loss anymore and True North exists.
    -Bosses that flies away during heavy mechanics and come back after.
    -Ranged attacks aren't combo breaker anymore.
    -SMN exists with lot of utility and plays like a physical range.
    -BLM gets more instant cast, a free charge on triple cast and has one of the best mobility tool.
    -From E5S to E8S, the most movement heavy tier with the current design, it was casters who shined, not physical ranged. Even RDM could compete with Samurai. This tier showed that range is more valuable than mobility.

    MCH has no utility but the DPS of a Support DPS, that's the problem.
    It's up to SQEX to either increase the DPS or the utility. To create a value the MCH can bring in order to compete within the physical range role.

    Even if you fixed MCH problem you listed, the ping issue the AQ AI, the AoE rotation, Reassemble, Wildfire...
    MCH would remain a less valuable choice. Take RDM for example, it has low damage in DRS but do you see anyone complaining about it?
    No, because it brings fast res and Magick Barrier, valuable assets that allows the RDM to shine beyond the DPS it brings.

    Consistency? That's everyone's job.
    Flexiblity? If you don't have a MCH, it doesn't mean the door is completely closed to you. Someone else can adjust their rotation, even rigid rotation.

    There is 1 ranged spot to compete for, melee and caster can compete for a second spot.
    Sure, you can go 2 phys ranged and clear the content, but that's willingly shooting yourself in the foot.
