Pictomancer is not the issue.

It's the fact that ALL physical ranged and SMN & RDM jobs hit like a wet noodle.
What they should do is remove the ranged tax for physical ranged, and also remove the ress from SMN & RDM, and just buff all of them to be on par with PCT.

It's silly that in 2025 things like "ranged tax" and "utility tax" still is part of the game, when it haven't been relevant for several years at this point.

At the moment it feels very unappealing to play and/or bring physical ranged or SMN/RDM to content, even though they're viable options, you'd much rather take something else.

My point is, PCT isn't really the real issue, but rahter everything else is just too weak, so buff everything else instead.

I am not understanding what makes people think there is a ranged tax when Picto, BLM, EW SUMMONER, SHB MCH were all obscenely overpowered jobs at point in their life. it is not the ranged tax at this point. they just cant balance.
