They forgot Ranged Physical is a role in the game

[Supersnow845]

What free movement? This is a game with incredibly scripted dance routines. Do you think Physical Ranged is running around randomly in circles between mechanics?

In Endwalker, the idea of a Damage Caster existing on a completely different tier from rest of the ranged jobs was just a job-specific quirk of BLM. Now that PCT also occupies the same DPS category while having an overabundance of utility, movement tools, and instant casts (the like of which would make a SMN blush), people are starting to question why that differential treatment exists within ranged jobs.

Again since when has PCT been the catalyst for this

People have been complaining about problems with the physical ranged discrepancy since melees have been playing pseudo physical ranged for 3 expansions now
