I think for the role to be balanced melee needs to not outclass the selfish casters.
the easiest balance would be to remove raise tax and make all casters balanced again since raise tax wasnt issue pre ew. but since now the devs think raise tax is a thing then i would prefer the previously proposed changes. i prefer jobs to not get locked away cos caster dmg varies too much between pct blm and smn rdm.
