Let's redefine "damage taxes"

[Avoidy]

Why are you concerned with handcuffing SMN and RDM? Can we not buff both dps? Everyone not melee across the board needs a bump up.

I'm only bringing them up because this thread, like many balance threads in this forum, has some RDM mains using poor logic to defend wanting better utility and better damage than the only job (in their caster role) they're in direct competition with. I do agree that non melee need something though, because they're literally calling it meleewalker at this point it's so bad. More than anything I'm tired of hearing the "easy to play" argument when we're playing a game where SAM is top dps, and I'm tired of disingenuous arguments from people who clearly just want their favorite job to dominate and don't care about how it screws over the other jobs within that role.

IMO i don't want RDM to have better utility, it's fine the way it is. RDM just need potency buffs due to its long casting spells and for being the least mobile caster.
