Possible solution to "ranged only dps"

[Ilean]

It's not exactly hard to figure out SE's vision when a brain is utilized.

Jobs are coming, and in the current scenario Archer will take the role of a buffer as Bard. This basically means that Archer's DD potential is at an all-time high and won't see much improvement when the Jobs are introduced (aside from buffs that affect everyone). Other DD's, PUGs MRDs and LNCs have yet to meet their full DD potential as Monks, Dark knights and Dragoons. And when the encounters are balanced with this in mind, an Archer (or Bard) as a DD simply won't cut it anymore. You will need heavy weapons (buffed by Bards) to make a dint to the bosses in a reasonable timeframe.

It's certainly not the developers who lack a vision. The players, however, could use some glasses to see further than up their nose.

We are supposed to play the game now because in 3 months SE won't screw us over anymore? You are tanaka-smart!
