Phys.Ranged still not getting buffed.

[brinn12]

SE: "We have not made adjustments to physical ranged." (Aside from buffing BRD and DNC by buffing melees, tanks, and healers, essentially nerfing MCH yet again.)

It’s hard to believe how SE has been treating this role as if all three jobs have a raid buff—for 3 expansions now.

This!

Its' a real shame that, for the numerous threads and posts complaining about BLM, the fact that (what I understand is) the lowest DPS job is getting more nerfs.

I get the impression the Devs hate MCH.

The JP forums were asking if MCH killed the devs' dogs.

Current MCH needs at least 10 bullets to reach the potency to do that.

Its no secret that the only purpose of the physical ranged role at this point is the 1% Mainstatbuff.
Are the 7.2 changes enough to start a triple melee meta and killing the physranged role completely? Its really getting close.
Physical Ranged as a role needs more impact. Not just the feel of existence for the 1% buff. SE please!

Sqex said sit in the corner and stay quite. Phys ranged players are to be seen not heard.

If true, that's hilarious! xD

It was a mistake to ever choose MCH as my main job. I am fucked up for years now. :')

To rub salt in the wound, everyone is getting their own personal Peloton with the sprint to jog changes. The role action will be redundant. One less reason to want a phys ranged player in your party.

I made a commitment to level a BRD from one to level cap, almost there and then that whack-a-mole job is getting kicked to the curb, never again.

[Valence]

he is probably talking about the knockback dog in p1 that literally cucks every role and not just melee.
But this mechanic got skipped by groups with hands once ppl got gear

Oh yeah. Every role. So irrelevant.

Isn't the point that phys ranged deal less damage because they don't need to worry about uptime or positionals? Their current damage seems alright to me.

This is probably why AFTER taking uptime and positionals into consideration, phys ranged still deals abyssmally less damage. Across every boss content (trials, raids, ultimates). I'm sure this makes sense somewhere but not in my head.


( This is a cDPS chart on current savages, the bread and butter of balance with the most accurate metric )

I really want to love MCH but SE makes it very hard to do so. Just let me pew pew and contribute outside of being peak at week 1 when nobody has their gear (and lose hard anyway to DNC/BRD with high damage/world first racers). I hate being able to do the highest damage then drop off a cliff the moment any other dps gets a raid level chest/pants. Let alone a weapon. Just let me scale please. What's the worst that can happen?

Or just idk, give me gun mage/pvp MCH in PvE so there's at least an excuse to scale maybe.
