    I am against this change because the essence and advantage of being ranged physical/caster is lost... plain and simple.

    Using the same logic with the room-wide hitboxes bosses have at the moment, then positional requirements on abilities have to be removed. What's the point of having those when you can hit it everywhere you want and its rear is not exposed anyway? These are a mere relic of the past.

    So you want to hurt melee by blindly removing one of the few remaining unique and fun challenging mechanic just because casters(not SMN) and range lost their advantage and essence?
    I don't follow

    There used to be what is called ranged tax. Hope you're familiar with that. Furthermore, hurting melee?? Their higher normal dps than ranged compensates for the melee downtime. I don't follow.

    So again, you want to destroy a mechanic to get back at the melee boogeymen, just because the developers blundered the balance?
    Melee man bad!

    Funny how you didn't catch the sarcasm where I said following the flawed logic of making boss hitboxes massive. But.. have it your way. If you think it's punishment, then there's no point arguing with you. Melee jealous of ranged planting themselves and still wanting the high dps.
