Rdps and Mdps- balance idea

[Mcshiggs]

Its funny that you mention chimera.

Chimera is balanced, for every melee mechanic, there is a ranged mechanic, I have said the mechanics are overall balanced, and why bring melee, melee limit breaks come to mind, dragoons can absolutely destroy dreadnaughts on Twintania with Life surge, ranged has no stuns, only silence, dragoons have 2 stuns, and monks have a stun and a silence on a shorter cooldown than bards, melee may be in bit more danger, but they have access to second wind and bloodbath, bards just second wind, summoners and black mages have to stop dps completely and cast to even attempt to try to heal themselves. Having a monk for their mantra never sucks, I'm sure there are more reasons to bring some melee, but I'll stop there, if your FC is one that has blinders and thinks all ranged is the only way to get things done, roll with it, there are multiple ways to beat things in this game.

The adjustment was monk/dragoon v. bard, not all ranged, so it's not a safety based on mechanic thing, its that dragoons and monks can drop damage from too much movement and bards don't, not a near far thing, and we don't know how it will be equalized, they may nerf bard, they may increase the duration of Greased Lightning/Heavy Thrust buffs, we don't know yet.
