I wouldn’t mind getting Palisade back, but at the same time it’s just a single target version of what we already have (Troubadour/Shield Samba/Tactician). Maybe a role action like Excogitation that restores health to the target when they fall below a certain threshold. Though nobody ever needs heals anyway. Still, personally I feel like all three jobs in the phys dps kinda fail at actually being ‘support dps’, they’re just ‘weak dps who lose a ton of damage because they can jump and attack at the same time or something lol (plus they’re the easiest jobs in the game beside Summoner)

I really don’t see how any more ranged dps tax is going to change much of anything for Dancer and Bard lol, they’re already the two lowest dps in the game. It’s not like they can get any lower, besides maybe against each other. You guys would have a heart attack if you saw 2.0/3.0 Bard (15% damage reduction while singing) lol. Also, I doubt they’d nerf Machinist to the bottom of the dps barrel for getting like one extra role action. Are melee being taxed for Feint, Arm’s Length or Bloodbath? How about Black Mage for Addle?

Physical Ranged dps will literally never be high up the DPS list lol, not after 2.0 Bard took over Coil parties when it first came out. 4X Bard was pretty much the meta comp initially. Might as well give them some ways to actively support the party so they’re not just discount summoners (with arguably less valuable utility)
