I think to balance the rezz issue they should allow SMN and RDM to have stances that disable their rezzes in exchange for more potency (either just “black magic stance; disallows the use of verraise and vercure. Potency of all spells and weapon skills increases by 10%” or otherwise “black magic stance; converts verraise to verultima and vercure to verglare”

This way SMN and RDM could be pushed to around NIN level if their raise it turned off (SMN would need more casts though)

Then phys ranged I would either just give them back walking casts, for example DNC feels like it’s dances should disallow you from running or walking at normal speed, the hypercharge window and any proc of refulgent arrow could be similar. Or otherwise give them distance positionals, for example heartbreak shot or could have to be short distance, but sidewinder prefers medium distance, you could even add in something like DNC’s dances having drop off damage by distance

If you did that then phys ranged would actually be able to justify high melee spots if they did had high complexity (like BRD)
