How about a non-support ranged dps?

[Xanikk999]

SE's reasoning is that if you are ranged physical you have mobility and survivability over a melee. You are not subject to directional attacks and have no risk of enemies cleaving you with attacks in melee range.

Due to this, SE balances the damage output of physical ranged by lowering the overall ceiling of damage.

Their logic holds no ground if they don't lower all ranged dps overall output, including summoners and black mages. Even then I disagree. Ranged typically have responsibilities in boss fights melee don't at least in most MMOs. I haven't raided anything past duty finder in FFXIV so I'm not 100% sure that's the case here. In World of warcraft I have raided the highest difficulty in the last few expansions.

Can't really do anything about it though if the devs ways are set in stone.
