It hasn't been a "ranged" tax in a while. It's a "somehow far simpler than even the average FFXIV job" tax atop rez perhaps being mildly undervalued relative to TacticalSambaToir (though that balance is difficult to pin down, since rez has no value until things go wrong). Note the accordant differences between Bard, Dancer, and Machinist. The Physical Ranged role is no monolith despite their shared relative hypermobility.
