Rdps and Mdps- balance idea

[RyuujinZERO]

This doesn't work in practice due to the nessecity to also play in solo play.

Longbow rangers in GW2 were widely considered inferior if not useless in serious and solo play for this reason, as their damage fell off with range; the closer the enemy the lower the DPS they dealt. However in solo play, once you attack a mob it's going to close to reasonably short range no matter how you kite and in boss fights it wasn't always possible to maintain a very large amount of clearance. Melee can ALWAYS close to an enemy, they may have to back off due to PBAoE but they can always reach a boss. Your proposition however can set up a scenario where ranged DPS has nowhere from which they can hit the enemy, rendering them useless.

Really the only problem child in the equation is bard.

Black mages and Summoner still have to kite AoE's, during which time they cannot attack - only bards can shoot-and-scoot. And there's a number of other solutions (A damage penalty while moving, or possibly increase bard's focus on support, so they proxy a larger portion of their DPS through songs rather than doing large dps themselves)
