Give Physical Ranged Dps knockback nullify ability

[HyoMinPark]

...physical ranged has aoe refresh and tp regain, that no longer require sacrificing DPS for. That's a hell of a lot more imbalance than other jobs having surecast is. Ranged physical has a group movement speed up buff. I mean, they get so much already, why to they have to be 100% perfect dps?

....What? You do realize Refresh and Tactician were a godsend to the old ways of MP/TP Refresh, right? So many people would not Promote their turret, nor sing Mage's or Army's when needed because of the DPS loss; MCH actually suffered a bit more than BRD in that regard because of how turret damage was weighted. We get "so much" at the cost of personal DPS--at least with regards to BRD because at most percentiles we're only doing more damage than the RDM with instant Raises every GCD.

Also, you can't use Swiftsong (Peloton) in battle so....your argument with that is what, exactly?

I get what you’re saying 100%, I still think it’s not a requirement. I keep seeing people saying it’ll be a QoL change, but I personally see it as an intentional design choice. It makes sense, to me, why Bard and Machinist don’t have a preventive knock back move, just as it makes sense why we don’t have a gap closer either. It makes sense why Red Mage and Black Mage can teleport around, and why Summoner cannot. It makes sense why Melee have so many tools to stay on the boss (both role class and their job class), and why tanks only have one/none. Just my .02 though

As far as I'm aware, RDM does not have an Aetherial Manipulation like BLM does.


It's fine if you don't agree with me; that's your opinion. But mine is I think it's silly every other job can just say "screw you" to an annoying knockback mechanic while BRD/MCH have to beg the PLD to Cover them, or plead with the healer to rescue them. If it was something that only a few jobs could avoid due to the specific design of their job, then that would be fine. But it's every job except for two.
