Original descriptions, are you kiddng me? original descriptions also say THM are the masters of CC and Debuffing in FFXIV as well, whats your point? Try playing the class, they punch. If we were throwing a rock we would be able to be more the one yalm away to do it. Thus we would have a ranged AA.

Also: "Melee" has been adopted and popularized as a term in war-gaming, board games, tabletop role-playing games and video games to encompass all close-quarter fighting and directly striking an opponent at ranges generally less than a few feet with, but not only, fists, feet, knives, rifle-butts or any other melee weapon or special spells or tactics with the intention of causing harm.

I said dictionary not wikipedia. Which is precisely where you got that.

Wikipedia is a free, web-based, collaborative, multilingual encyclopedia project supported by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation. Its 20 million articles (over 3.82 million in English alone) have been written collaboratively by volunteers around the world (articles not definitions or even facts for that matter). Almost all of its articles can be edited by anyone with access to the site,[It has become the largest and most popular general reference work

The definition I gave were actual facts and official definitions. not public concensus. just because 1 million people incorrectly use a word, or term the same way does not by any means make it true. Wikipedia is general reference, not always fact.

None of that changes the fact, that there was a need to level out physical damage of the DoWs, which is how this got started. Lancers all got there feelings hurt. They leveled the damage of the various DoW classes to solve the imbalance.
