EVERY RANGED HAVE TACTICIAN. They are named Troubadour and Samba, those are virtually role action. In this equation or ranged utility, MCH brings nothing more.
4 party content is non existant. Only dungeons are light party, trial, savage, ultimate, 24 man raid, Eureka/Bozja.
Only Deep dungeons and Dungeons are 4 man content, DPS don't matter, healing barely matters and most of the dungeon is aoe spam + 3 bosses.

Even in ShB, if you wanted to perform better than a Melee/casters, you needed to overgear the Melee/casters and them to perform poorly.

Hey...hey, psst...you shouldn't perform better than melee or casters

Beeing worse then SMN DPS wise is hard right now... *cough* *cough* but hey BRD can have Utility, BUffs AND DPS but MCH are NOT ALLOWED to dps

Actually stop listening and open your eyes.
Where did I ever mentioned that I wanted MCH to be on par with melees or casters?
My point was that the "mobility tax" was insanely high that if a melee/caster was below a ranged, it meant the player had no idea how to play the job at all.
In any case we already established that mobility tax was a useless joke, especially in content like P1S, P2S and P4SP2, most of the hard content is 95%+ melee uptime.

Again for your pretty eyes:
I want to feel useful when playing MCH, be it damage or utility wise.

to be fair, smn at this pojnt is barely a caster anymore and offers great value via rezz, and redmage while more of a caster than smn completly blows most classes out of the water as far as utility goes, so even when dealing the same damage as a physical ranged both would still be usefull...

GNB and WAR are both in good spots and didn't really need any adjustment. I'll be surprised if the PLD buff doesn't get walked back a bit next patch (as SE is wont to do).

You can keep assuming that... you know, makes an ass out of you and all that. I play daily, and yes, I play them all. Jokes on you though.

You mean like in… Savage content or -?

It's reaper that skews the data for others.

Idk where you're getting that idea. Reaper isn't even the highest dmg job before this. It was monk. And monk got buffed somehow. I'm very curious how you're coming to this conclusion

There's a whole issue right now of healing being so baby mode easy that it's breeding a type of player who feels slighted at the possibility of needing to use a GCD to stop dpsing and heal someone. Green DPS memes have never been more real. Damage just isn't going out, ex trials can be cleared without healers at all.

Don't hate the player, hate the game. Healing is designed to be 99% spamming your single target and using oGCD's to heal.
