If all melee is buffed considerably, or the PCT is nerfed the BLM remains as is and the hitboxes remain as large as the arena, I agree, it will be a Meleetrail.
If this is not the case, perhaps we will see the right balance, where those who actually have to sweat for uptime will be rewarded if they manage to optimize it.


As for the phys range, unfortunately they have been stripped of their importance because they are too stressful (according to the complainers and designers who listen to them) and therefore until they have a uniqueness (in addition to having 100% guaranteed uptime), sadly they will remain afloat thanks to only 1% raid buff.
