Getting melee uptime in this game, especially in this tier, is not difficult. There is absolutely no reason for melees to do more damage than casters.

I was looking at a stream tonight on P3S, the most melee unfriendly one.
I forgot how ridiculous the melee uptime was, there is literally 1 single mechanic that forces you out of melee range for... A maximum of 3 GCDs.

Even P4SP2, we agreed on respecting the mechanic and to use our ranged attacks and not caring about DPS.
During progress, I used at most 10-11 ranged attack.
During weeklies, I use around 6 ranged attack.

Mobility tax should be 50-100 rDPS at most, not 1k, especially with the many mobility tools such as Thunderclap.
