They forgot Ranged Physical is a role in the game

The already kinda do.

1. Instant casts (PCT's Hammer combo, RDM's melee combo, and finishers, Paradox, Despair, Xenoglossy, etc on BLM, SMN)
2. Short casts (PCT's RGB spells, RDM, Jolt, fire, and earth spells, BLM ice spells under certain conditions)
3. Long casts (PCT's motifs, RDM's aero, and thunder spells, the rest BLM)

.

you can add this:

-Rythm timing.
-Animation-lock, slow + movespeed buff afterward.
-Instant 2 attacks with 1scond self stun and 3.5 GCD afterward, dual attacking you can say for jobs that have dual weapons or guns.

I think action mechanics like cast times should be role-agnostic, and should be considered on a per job basis. Removing the cast times on SAM's Iajutsus just because it has some overlap with magical ranged DPS or undoing the Tsubame-gaeshi changes because it's like RDM's Dual Cast would make it a worse job, and so it should keep them. So if giving BRD, and MCH walking casts potentially makes them better jobs then the overlap with magical ranged should not be a problem.

SAM is on the right track of job balancing and they should keep it that way,

SAM is Slayer/Caster type of job
RDM is Caster/Assasin
MCH is Marksman, Artillery

the problem is Cast in FFXIV has many meaning it could be support, it could be mage, it could be instant cast caster we don't really know,

and marksman in ffxiv have an identity issue we don't know is it an instant cast or it should have different mechanic ?

Can you elaborate on these classifications and where they are from respectively how they apply to FFXIV?
