    can we talk about casters

    okay this has been a big issue for a while but with 6.2 its somehow even worse, people have this weird idea that melee uptime is hard and thats why ranged jobs should be weak but in this expansion melee uptime is not a thing as a melee almost every fight has free uptime and if it doesnt the boss goes untargertable which makes me wonder why are ranged jobs getting taxed this high especially casters having to plan the fight so you never need to drop a cast bar and still do so little damage in comparison is very discouraging.

    im not saying all casters and phys ranged should be higher than all melees its just that the variance between job damage this time is pretty big

    i hope the devs reconsider the current balance.

    Casters and healers actually fighting for uptime while the melee play 10% damage up phys ranged is getting really old at this point

    exactly! as a nin i have no issues with uptime i keep hearing people say "ranged tax" but with how this current expansion fight design is going "ranged tax" makes no sense

    FFXIV: MeleeWalker is real.

    I'd say It'd be nice to make melee fight for their uptime again...but that would just make life even harder on Red Mage who needs to be in melee for bursts. Bursts that pretty often coincide with mechanics like 8s doorboss intermission wherein everyone spreads...and who in their right mind would let a red mage in to burst when a melee is also bursting?

    Uhhh what is this "tax" you're talking about?

    What makes you think casters are weaker than melee? How do you know of this information?!

    Are you... ARE YOU USING 3RD PARTY PROGRAMS TO MEASURE AND COMPARE YOUR DAMAGES?!

    Ban'd!

    Ya, switching to BLM this tier has made me realize that BLM should be outshining the melee by a mile. It takes so much more effort to be consistent and play well than my SAM. I loved my SAM, but damn is BLM way more rewarding. Just a shame its constantly behind the melee while having to work much harder.

    That is the sad part, people never care about caster.

    They made it up. The tax doesn't exist. The classes just don't do as much deeps. It's a silly term for silly people.
