VPR being the worst offender of this being able to store up to 3 ranged GCDS in which the oGCDS also have the same 20y range and result in no real DPS loss. So if there is ever a fight that forces you to peel off consistently throughout what you will actually see is that a job like VPR becomes significantly better than most of the other jobs in the game.

I can bet however that VPR would never ever be taxed in any kind of way because its a Melee DPS even if it has no downtime.
Not only ranged GCDs, but with a massive recast (3.5s).
