Setting sights on the future of physical ranged DPS

* Static rotation (<-- this is where everyone except Dancer is right now)

I'd Argue RDM and BRD to some extent are also part of the exception

Hrm... fair enough. Debatable. I'm used to thinking about it from an EverQuest perspective, and in the "old" design (granted, 6 combat roles and all back then) they'd be static-y, but I get what you mean. RDM is in fact a bit special, as they're like the inverse of a priority based design in their core mechanic, but due to the abundance of energy-generation tools and in particular the procs at higher levels, this rarely has a big gameplay effect. Balance of energy is never difficult or meaningfully complicated. If it were, it'd truly be a priority-job, having to maybe not use a skill you want to use because zomg damage, but it'd unbalance your energy if you did. It's close to a really cool design, yeah.
