Concerns Regarding DPS Balance: Physical Ranged, Red Mage, and Summoner

[BabyYoda]

RDM "should" have been a support caster. Where the White magic was Buffy things, party shields, regen or light heals, etc.. I don't know what the job is supposed to be but it's never been fun to play to me..

SMN if they're gonna gimp it's damage, agree.. the summons should do a party buff as well. But they need to make the abities be cast AT WILL.. being stuck as a rotation is completely lame and I'll never understand how they can excuse the ifrit "gap closer" as anything other than making it a detriment to use. I've watched more SMN accidentally kill themselves with it than using it to much effect dodging..

I agree that tagging Phys Rng as support then taking it away from MCH is a weird decision. The problem in HW was they were basically the same job as BRD so I think they're trying to make it different.

Mch should be the greedy dps heavy job of the 3. Since I guess they're trying to make it that. But it's not there. If they want to make it a support job, it should have access to more debuffs and shields or something to make it different from the other 2. Why don't we have any debuff jobs....

I just feel like the job design team are really uninspired. Really curious how the conversations go between them and the encounter team.

devs problem is they are listening 2 group of people: High end raiders who cares about how efficient jobs need to be.. and newbies who just get stressed so often and need to make jobs easier.

people in the middle suffering from current situation.. jobs feel like they have no purpose.. tanks heal party.. supports do damage higher than selfish DPS.. 2min meta is killing non burst jobs.. playing healer for more than 2 hours a week will reduce your IQ by 12..

I have listed a suggestions in many posts of how to give purpose for each role but Idk if devs are listening or they are busy with their NFT project that have peak 20 players each month..
