This is the only endgame fight out right now. Once more are implemented, will this still be a problem? I haven't done the raid yet, so I can't comment. At least solo, I'm content with the MP cost of Cures. Then again, I'm a CON.

Would your solution be for them to drop the MP cost on heals? Or make the boss more melee friendly? Either way, favoring ranged attacks is a type of strategy, and strategies are more valuable, in my opinion, than tank-n'-spank boss fights.

It's not that I can't relate completely, though. In FFXI, my main was THF, meaning I was useful for pretty much just sky farming and nothing else. I'd manage to get pity invites to other events from LS mates, heh.

If it's a game-breaker for you, keep in mind the raid is still only two weeks old. People need time to get comfortable with it.
