Then we'd be seeing blm crying for buffs. It's a pretty viscious cycle until the are doing the same amount as melee dps in a fight lol. As soon as that happens, melee will go extinct because there would be no reason to bring someone who is limited to staying on the boss for damage and in "more danger" of taking damage than ranged. They'd be a liability in every way except for limit break.

Then the melee will cry for buffs.... and so on.

Maybe smn and blm should be tied In ST damage in fights with smn pulling ahead in heavy movement ones?
Soo.. BLM gets to be better AoE, Single target, aaand burst while having no resource pool? BLM mobility isnt bad, although a bit RNG, and SMN mobility isnt as good as people think it is. SMN also need to be in melee range to really take advantage of their DPS.
