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.
Got a dev source on that?




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
