Bard "buff"

[Easayia]

Physical Ranged arent supposed to be top dps.

Again, I have said this to ranged dps players before, you have no position requirements, such as casting times (as with the other ranged classes) or melee positionals, as with the melee class.

This means you can be literally anywhere at any time, meaning your job is easier to play mechanically speaking.

With this in mind, the development team doesnt want the entire playerbase playing these classes. (Because if they could produce top dps numbers, and also have the mobility the draw to these classes would be extremely high.) If you want to play a top dps class and be a ranged, consider a caster.

If you enjoy the class you play, be the best at it. You arent going to be excluded for being an exemplary bard.

Most importantly, bards already asked for a damage increase, when they were given it in the form of cast times, they immediately regretted the changes and wanted their mobility back. Square-Enix at this point has made it very clear. You get cast times with more damage, or mobility with less damage. Pick your poison.

I dont think thats what ranged is asking for they are asking for there to be less of a gap the gap is currently to wide. and they need to either

A. give ranged more party utility to make up for it

B. lessen the gap.........


Melee yes should hit harder then ranged because of less time on the boss however ranged should be able to keep up with melee damage wise by constantly hitting the boss so basically

Range pewpewpew should = melee pow dodge pow ( it currently does not!)

or worth taking utility needs to be added to all range jobs. ( whats currently there is not enough.)

taking a ranged class just because they give a 1% damage boost and only that reason while the other roles all have more reasons then this to be taken is the primary issue everyone is talking about!
