Revert the damage reduction

[Divinemights]

I mean you said if people want maximum potency they have to risk themselves like melees, but DNC's kit itself requires short distance to do a damage (Saber Dance and Honing Dance) and the support (Fan Dance 3 and Contradance). Also BRD and MCH are way more support than DNC alongside with how long their shoot distance are.
I don't think so. They are still doing fine with RW's DR.

First of all, the BRD is also a support, and I am not sure why a lot of these BRDs thinks they are not.
Final Fantasia, The Warden's Paean, and Salient Nocturne are self-explanatory and how many Bards actually maximized these potential.

Machinist was the sole culprit of this damage reduction; the very main reason why all ranges/casters getting shackled.
It is an all around damage dealer with great crowd control

Rival Wing DR is a joke and it is only viable because of Mecha.
Ranges/casters can not trigger happy in front of Mecha, that is all.
If a Monk can 5 GCDs a PLD in Rival Wing, that damage reduction system is a failure.
How are they going to survive against a group of casters/rangers in 72 men Frontline enrolment?
It is working only because of Mecha

You are just being selective to make the argument fit in your narration.
What was the reason of damage reduction boost to 60%?
Oh right, it is the Summoner got too much in their arsenals.

If you want to reduce 60% back to 50%, the trade off is range/caster need a potency reduction to balance out.
Why?
Is it too difficult for you to find your 15 yard sweet spot?
I can do that as BRD in ARR, are you telling me you cant?
