Frontline balance we'd like to see

Objectively wrong, some adjustments towards consecutive LBs or general AoE damage is required.

Even if you control the CC coming in from all sides, you end up indirectly making AoE stacking more appealing, aka summoners just wiping out alliances with the press of a button, or scholars stacking a DoT that has 0 counterplay.

I wouldn't worry too much about one specific job, especially it is range.
They will just give it same 4.5 treatment.
Increase damage and damage resistance on non range job at frontline

I actually want more people to play this brainless job so SE can install this back faster

I feel like that's a bandaid that ultimately punishes casters too much or makes melee too powerful. Really all the AOE skills just need damage drop off or they need to share an ID so they can't stack. Ultimately I don't want to rob people of their tools or target individual classes, I think that the changes need to be universal but still directly benefit the health of the game as a whole.

"Just make Melee take less damage or hit harder" doesn't resolve the issue.

I wouldn't say it is a punishment but it is a necessary adjustment
Ranges always have advantage at PvP in any mmorpg and most of games tune them down by giving them a "cast"
The cast time is near to non-existence in this game then the output of range need to be tune down.

The only reason Summoners get to trigger happy right now is majorly because of CC stacking and lack of fetterward where tank or meele can't even touch ranges.
I assume you just start pvp after 6.1, this adjustment was in effect between 4.5 and 6.0 and proven working without create issue to Feast (now Crystal Conflict) or severely nerf the Range
