Imo, all of these strike threads should really band together into an overall XIV job design protest at this point. The fact the devs already intend for 8.0 to be the job identity expansion really highlights how every role is in a race to the bottom, with not even Black Mage and Viper being safe. Not to detract from the very real issues with how bad physical ranged feel, I just think with all of the recent discussion, it'd be vastly more productive for all of the roles to band together and point a metaphorical gun to the devs' heads on this problem.
