Yet when Ranged don't even NEED the buffs, since they're already in a strong position in the case of BRD. MCH might need a few more QoL things here and there since they've found nothing but failure in the usage of Overheat and just overcomplicated the job itself.

By giving Ranged a piercing debuff of their own, it'd cause them to be powercreeping on Melee by themselves as well as make BRD a bit harder to play(extra timer to keep track of).

P.S. If you want an example of powercreeping, go look at Heavensward when WAR was capable of contesting a Melee.
