Why aren't fights designed to have mechanics where having one person bait something while on the move? Like what if there was an object that you could pick up or pass to a party member simply by moving over it/them, and regularly, the boss will target that with chasing AOEs. If it gets hit, it explodes dealing massive damage to the party, but the physical ranged DPS can pick it up and run it around, avoiding the AOEs without dropping DPS. That would be something catered especially to their strength in the fight itself.
I think the last fight that made use of the mobility of a physical ranged was O11S with the missile baits during Pantokrator 2.

But then again, most people didn't understand the mechanic and just made the PLD disengage and invuln the missiles.
