I 100% understand the ranged DPS tax - but then how do you justify giving bard and dancer (who both bring party utility to the table) buffs over MCH? Tactician is given to all 3 in some form, please stop using that as "there is your utility". Something is glaringly rotton here and needs fixed before every group ends up being sage, reaper and warrior.

Same here, MCH since HW.
In HW I was "too useful", in SB you had the horrible Flamethrower but the job remained useful.
In ShB, MCH wasn't the worst Ranged DPS, it would only bring DPS and that was it. A common feedback was "more utility", but this was ignored.
Now in 6.08, it still only brings DPS except this time it's behind DNC that can shield and heal.

Since media tour, I decided to go GNB/SGE. Went GNB, I don't have the DPS of a MCH but at least I feel useful to the party.
And that's what matters, what we want.

Every subrole of DPS has a "selfish" job. MCH is the physical ranged selfish job. Unless they strip all the utility away from DNC or BRD (or make a new physical ranged), you're not getting utility.

No, but they should buff MCH to be at the top of the physical ranged dps, before BRD and DNC. This ain't going to happen anytime due to the stupid "ranged tax" that limits the dps rang they have allocated to the role ("stupid" as the casters are pretty mobile themselves these days).
