Physical range dps damage?

[Miziliti]

phys ranged has low dps because

a) lack of positionals
b) 100% uptime (unless you're out of range)
c) can both DPS and do mechanics (leads back into b)
d) utility
e) can move while attacking

Jobs without cast bar aka tanks and melee DPS can all move while attacking as long as distance is allowed, and so they can handle melee range mechanics while attacking, which leads to 100% up time. It all depends on player skill.
