People liked this post, I am confused.

You've never played a caster in your life, I'm assuming.
Melees have gapclosers to get back onto the boss quickly.
Or, for your puddle case, check this out.
The melee more or less stack on the back and one of the flanks (left or right). The puddles spawn and then you strafe to the other flank. While staying within range to keep hitting the boss.
Like all good melees do. If you didn't do this, feel free to apply it and enjoy your 98%+ dps uptime.
Do you know who does not have that option and does 0 dps while moving?
That's right. It's Black Mage.

Now I want you all to go play BLM on Susano EX and then come here, with a straight face, and convince me a NIN or a MNK are "more punished by mechanics".

Or, you know what?
Open fflogs and check the 90% percentile and check dps uptime. And then tell me who comes dead last.
I can't believe I have to type this out.
