Any LS worth a damn doesn't have these problems.
the type of balance im talking about is were ranged DD often have set safe spot they can stand and pretty much not take any damage at all while close range DD are often getting destroyed by aoe and stuff. Now this can be considered all fine and dandy if the close range DD have the advantage of being capable of higher DPS, but the fact is is that most fights are designed in way that BLM are the optimal DD. They have high damage output, safe spots to stand and allow the whm to focus on tank only.
