can we talk about casters

[remiff]

I played melee last tier, had absolutely 0 uptime problems, so i don't see why there's a ranged tax anymore.

It is normal that some mobility tax exists, but it should be drastically reduced, especially since the red mage is only mobile 60% of his rotation, and the summoner about 90%. but it is above all that he has a moment of risk taking in the rotation, the red mage who has a melee combo, and the summoner who must use his gap closer Ifrit+ ifrit melee spell.

the casters must be +- 4% behind the melee, however the black mage always needs to have a good lead over RDM and SMN, so they must also adjust it if they increase the damage of the casters.

Machinist should also be 4% below Melee DPS.

The Bard and the Dancer seem to be in a good place due to their synergy and the latest crit changes,
if the bard and the dancer have +- equal contribution it is very good.

they also need to buff the reaper to be at the same RDPS level as dragoon.
