It sounds like what casters really want to see here is a major simplifying rework on BLM. If it doesn't happen right at the outset of next expansion, it probably will happen in the wake of insecurity over the next Caster job to be introduced.

As sad as it will be, I take solace in the fact that if they do that, they can safely eliminate the artificial divide between 'physical ranged' and 'magical ranged', and put to rest this ongoing myth that occasionally stopping to 'cast' is difficult (this isn't even specific to Casters).
