2 melee 2 ranged standard

I think it sits somewhere in the middle

Saying the second least mobile class is basically a physical ranged is stupid (though that wasn’t the original point, they simply said it could be designed as a physical ranged implying more along the lines of the fact that the jobs freeform nature doesn’t necessarily have to work with casts. PCT with zero cast times and nothing else changed would still be a playable class) but PCT’s Freeform nature also allows it more movement ability than a generic “oh it spends 50% of 120 seconds casting so it’s super immobile”

You are wrong here, Snow.

They could have designated this as a physical ranged job if they wanted to.

They didn't say "designed", they said "designated". They are two completely different verbs, although they look similar. They are saying DT could have launched with PCT in the physical ranged role and it would have made sense. Now you can look at this discussion again from the correct point of view and see how stupid it is (as you said).

Also, what the dungeon casters are saying (I don't mean it in a bad way, but none of them has a level cap PCT and one of them hasn't even unlocked it) is that you can press random buttons on PCT because it has "freedom". You are a serious caster, so you know there's plenty of planning on PCT, because it's a caster and planning your GCDs and oGCDs is part of basic caster gameplay. Unless you want to interrupt casts or botch your burst window, obviously.

You are correct I did read it wrong

Yes I seriously disagree with the implication it could be designated as a phys ranged, it’s still the second least mobile job in the game (maybe 3rd depending on where SCH falls) it just does have a lot of tools if you plan them in advance

But you are correct, you can’t just throw abilities out there and hope something sticks

Thank you, as I've said there are a lot of insane takes about casters lately. It is what it is.
