State of Ranged Jobs Discussion

Oh my bad, I didnt think anyone would take FL serious lul.

The devs DO make balance adjustments in relation to battlegrounds - there have been a few changes made specifically to ranged to try to stop the Cometeor stack obsession that's been happening since Carteneau. But individual class balance matters really should be tailored around competitive gameplay, not large-scale BGs where cheese comps and lack of adequate party support are common.

I think if they make any adjustments now due to frontline, they'll mess up classes even more for 4v4.

And every job is playable in FL, melee might have a bit of a barrier but its definitely still doable(I got battle high/fevers plenty of time before the season started) Samurai is actually kinda decent in FL cause of Enpi + gap closer, but in 4v4 they're the weakest melee by far with a cast time for a mere 3.3k damage, so if we were to go oh Samurai is fine in FL or too strong so we should nerf it or leave it the same, It'd never be able to compete in 4v4. The same goes for RDM. It's easy to nuke > melee> displace in FL, but in 4v4 you will die.

I have hit limit on people at 100% , but it's very circumstantial. Kudos for strategic play though.
