So 4 ranged dps and they're all casters?

[DinahDemiurge]

Does anyone not see a problem here?

[Delily]

Bards? Machinists?

Bards? Machinists?

Gauss and WM make them casters

[Starkbeaumont]

no, what is the probleme?

[DinahDemiurge]

no, what is the probleme?

Seems a bit too homogenized no?

No. Have you played all 4 ranged DPS classes? They are very different.

And it's physically impossible to design one without casting bars? Interesting. Ok then

Of course not... BRD didn't have cast bars for a long time. The question is, why boil down the different between ranged DPS classes to whether or not they use cast bars? The playstyle is vastly different between classes.. just because they all use cast bars doesn't make them homogenized, it's there for balance. Nobody is forcing a Bard to use WM, but if they want to maximize their DPS, they should, and that means turreting. But you have a choice. Your argument is simply a gripe on the changes to the classes post-HW, but this point you are trying to make that everything is the same because of it, it sorely lacking.

Sure, that's totally what he said. The honesty and spirit for fair discussion in your comment has really enlightened me in regards to... whatever your point is.

they don't feel different to me. at Lv 53 BRD, Lv 60 BLM, Lv 60 SCH/SMN, BRD in WM is a lot like SMN without Aetherflow.
