Every Job in this game besides MNK has a ranged attack. And even there, for long disengages, you can use Howling Fist/Enlightenment for that (even if it's clunk as hell and a DPS loss VS FULL UPTIME to do so, it's still damage while disengaged IF fights actually had extended disengage times). A lot of Jobs also have DoTs they can slap on the enemy to do damage, or have other disengage options (for example, NIN has Ninjutsu and Phantom before they need to revert to Throwing Dagger; and if they DID have super long disengages, Hellfrog can be used once they generate enough Ninki from Throwing Dagger, giving a pseudo-ranged "rotation", too).

Just give MNK a slightly more accessible ranged attack and we can go back to times where using ranged attacks makes sense. Right now, they may as well not be on anyone's bars other than Tanks for pulls, and PLD practically doesn't need that since Holy Spirit exists.

I dunno, I thought those were neat times in MMOs. Would be neat for that to come back.
