Please buff ranged LB

You will get to use your ranged LB only in PvP or in case that there is no melee or mage in dungeon.
Sad story.

The only fight it's been pretty great on is last boss in Fractal Continuum because with good timing you can take out all 5 adds in the last set at once.

Where exactly did you get this 10-20% figure from? The testing I found states a >3% difference.

This was done on dummies. The other test which the OP refers to was (iirc) done on a boss. I saw the post for the test in question a while ago on the forums, but I'm too lazy to look it up.

Might it be that dummies either don't have defence stats or have exactly even defence stats while the boss the other test was done on had higher physical defence than magical defence? That would explain the discrepancy quite easily.

If the test that claimed a 3% difference is correct, then the ranged LB is more or less on par with the caster LB. It's also a little more niche in its optimal usage, though... I'd say that the ranged LB should probably be maybe 10% stronger than the caster LB.

Dummies take the same damage as any boss does. Enemies don't get any kind of defensive stat whatsoever, be it a Lvl 1 Dummy or a level 60 Alexander

Besides, I highly highly doubt "boss" testing is appropriate unless it's the exact same people with the same gear, class, and situation during the test. This is why dummy testing is better, you can control all variables.

because BRD/MCH shouldn't be using everyone's LB.

Be thankful they bothered giving ranged physical DPS a damage limit break, they could of easily just left it how it was.

Read; Be thankful for getting a sub-par LB. Where's the reasoning for it being weaker when it covers less area, or even if it covered the same area?

I think support classes should also be thankful for all the massssive damage buffs that dropped them behind Warriors in terms of damage dealt.

This is not really that big of a deal, but I don't really see the reasoning behind having a weaker LB if this is true.
