A New Mechanic to Breathe Value Back into Ranged and Casters (and Mele)

[Gurgeh]

Ehhh.. I'm no game theorist.
The idea might be useless. (Not impossible) But useless.

I still haven't heard any reason though, with the current game design, as to why ranged... should play at a ranged distance.
I do know that for that reason I personally find ranged incredibly futile and frustrating. What's the point. They are only disadvantaged at range. Just play at mele distance. (Mele down time is 100% irrelevant in all my content)
I like dancer though for when I want to just F about a bit and D about the arena.

Its not like it stands a fart in hurricanes chance of being implemented no matter how amazing an idea it is. It was just a thought exercise.
And it tells me that I'm on my own (pretty much) with finding ranged pointless. Which is interesting.
How how many people here though are judging them by how they work in high end content, which make at least some effort to contrive to spread players about and make melec down time mean something.
