Don't worry. I already sorta got that impression from what I've seen. I mostly mentioned mine to show a degree of expertise in what we were all discussing. Competence and experience can help build the foundation for why someone thinks or feels the way they do. And, don't take this the wrong way, but if someone has historically been an incompetent career caster, then it speaks volumes in much the same way.

If you are playing phys ranged, you don't care about disengagement or movement like melee or caster (and by extension, tanks and healers). It's puzzling that we have to waste time explaining this.

If you have experienced the stigma that phys ranged are supposed to be the "braindead jobs", I'm sorry, but I have nothing to do with it and don't project that onto me. Please, keep focused on what is actually being said.
Fair enough lol.

I mean, my initial point was that I think that caster players were making pictomancer sound so intense to plan around when it's not really that dramatically difficult and you can fall into a priority system, really. You talked about my point as if I was saying you "press skills in a random order," which is not really the case either. But yeah, I see where you're coming from. Phys ranged does have uptime. mb. However, there seems to be a lot of people that really detest the comparison of picto having essentially the same liberties as a physical ranged.

And I just find that funny. The confidence you try to wield while discussing this game is almost admirable.
