    Bow mage...

    The ranged tax has been a thing since post HW. Their answer to ARR BRD was literally to put a cast time on them in HW and people hated the cast times (I didn't mind it personally) thus they removed it and lowered the physical ranged dps heavily.

    The proof is in the pudding, so to speak



    Notice the rather clear distinction between melee+blm compared to the other ranged jobs. The only reasons for that cliff to exist are either:

    1) Ranged tax.

    2) They're just really bad at balancing.

    Take your pick

    Got it the raider community made it up. The classes just suck because the devs made the xpac a melee one.

    It's the only right answer. It's only a matter of time before MCH becomes a limited job.
