Phys ranged is the next role behind healer that just feels like it’s there for the sake of the baseline full party comp and not because it actually brings anything to the table so it doesn’t surprise me it’s the next least common role

The phys ranged get taxed for uptime nobody except BLM and PCT are actually fighting for. BRD specifically is one of the most complex and rigid jobs in the game and all it has to show for it is being a worse DNC because feeding gear to a specific dance partner is worth more than BRD’s uniform buffs and MCH is getting taxed for its role while being a selfish DPS

both healers and phys ranged suffer from near redundancy of their role in a conventional party
