I understand Physical Ranged people being down after the supremacy of Disembowel since Heavensward. But free complete mobility comes with a price, and thanks to that the variance between a good and an average Phys Ranged player is smaller than other roles since they have no uptime worries. So the need to position in order to properly keep uptime is not existent in this role. I did wish the role had more supportive skills so people didn't feel bad though, but those are really hard to balance so maybe SE is afraid of it.

As a side note, SMN's insane mobility makes them to usually have the lowest variance between skill outside of Physical Ranged.
