Volcanic Heart is a bad map

[Apeman]

It also gives you LoS though which makes it easier to get away from being dog piled. It works both ways.

Yes, any job can use this pillars to line of sight but melee will generally be next to their target and makes chasing after them much easier. Ranged in general aren't as flexible and become hampered by excessive movement due to casting times and slowed movement speed during some abilities. It forces ranged to get more up close with the fighting which like i said nerfs my bards main damage ability by quite a chunk.
