Dev, please confirm MCH buffs before Alexander release?

[LittleArrow]

As a MCH I support this. As a former BRD I also support a similar buff for BRDs.

Please stop discounting MCH and BRD when the phrase "on par with..." each other comes up. BRD is having serious issues now as well. Developers said that GB / WM were supposed to put these ranged classes on par with black mage, and to be honest there's no reason why it shouldn't be. B/c we can move? Yeah, we move b/c of mechanics. Moving is not a plus when most of all the mechanics target ranged while every fight is compensated for melee. B/c we have support? Yeah, so does almost every other job in the game - SMN can move and has virus, a battle res, and does insane amounts of DPS, so why not us? B/c we give TP / MP? Yeah, so does NIN for TP and most healers / casters are expected to maintain their MP pools. An inexperienced healer has been the only case where ballad was necessary for me in endgame. Otherwise, MP was lost due to mistakes on the part of other players.

BRDs and MCHs should be accepted to perform just as much as melee (due to the fights not compensating ranged). No other mmo, that I have played, punishes ranged for being ranged. Why should we accept it here?

Damage is only one (a really big one) of the problems this class has atm. If you support this thread, please check out the discussion thread I made:
