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

[mallleable]

*cough* *cough* Walking casts *cough*

Seriously, the cast times alone would be considerations for increasing potency for physical ranged jobs -- the lightly movement restricted movement would be an extra little consideration. We could do something like replace MCH's Clean Shot combo with Blast Charge spam, and be generous with the potency and make it like 400 potency per hit with a 1.5 second cast time (PCT's 1.5 sec cast RGB GCDS are 400+ potency), same heat generation, and after every three casts you get an oGCD attack that grants 10 battery so you gain gauges at the same rate. And this has a cascading effect because now the potency for Blazing Shot has to go up as well because it is now a burst phase that requires some casting to get to, and because its potency is somewhat balanced around filler GCDs. Also 400 potency Blazing Shot spam that is still instant, and still has a 1.5 second recast time. Queen, and tool potencies would have to go up as well. These would be uhhh huge buffs. Not even mentioning that we could probably bring in the sniper rifle from PVP, give it a short cast time for HUGE damage under buffs (spitballing 1000p+ auto dhcrit with a 2 second cast on a 110 sec CD).

Similar principles can apply to BRD as well.
