What even is the purpose of all those non melee/blm jobs?

R*nged dps won't be happy until their easy role is better than casters and melees again like in ARR, HW, SB.

Joke's on you, they have never been. It was the dragoon that was completely broken. Remove the DRG from those parties (with that 10% then 5% piercing debuff) and you'll magically find that sweet ranged tax we have always had.

The only reason people are only starting to make a fuss about it now is because there has been less and less things hiding it for people to see. No more manasong, no more unique party mitigation, no more piercing debuff, in exchange for a 1% party bonus to make it somewhat worthwhile to continue taking.

Even more amusing considering that MCH was considered as one of the "hardest" jobs of HW by far in popular opinions, yet still had that tax lol. HW balance was a total mess and people still don't see it.
