Raise being a 'job-specific' action is the only reason why the discrepancy exists. If Raise was simply a ranged role action, nobody would be penalized for bringing it. It doesn't make sense to have a higher and lower tier of Caster DPS when they're supposedly all the same role.

They also really need to find another reason to justify Physical Ranged's existence outside of the 1% buff. I think a lot of this comes down to the fact that utility and 'difficulty' have been used for years to justify the role being positioned as inferior to Casters, to the point that the role has finally reached a breaking point.
