No one said they wanted GLA to be Archer OP. We just don't want to be shoveled into a mold. You can't call it customization if every GLA is going to be the same type of character. As is GLA is the worst class in the game. Everything we can do, another class does better. Most all classes get better Damage, MRD gets more HP, and MRD is the goto Tank for most NM parties. GLA are only useful for Single Mob tanking. A MRD is better because a MRD can hit all the targets with their AOE, and their high HP keeps them alive longer than most GLA. If this is the case, why bother with a GLA Tank? We are ineffective in all our roles.

I've invested time into my GLA, and your solution is "Rank another job." That is weak. All other classes get to customize their class using any abilities from any class they want. GLA are limited to tanking abilities only because it was the mold they were shafted with, while MRD gets the freedom to do whatever the hell they want.
