I'd rather machinist be balanced around samurai and black mage instead of bard and dancer. Make the 4th phys ranged selfish too so we have an even split. Reaper, black mage and samurai have plenty of movement tools and selfish phys ranged should not be knee capped to the point they can't compete with them. I don't want machinist to replace bard and dancer in every party, I want it to be strong and viable as a selfish dps who can use the bard songs and dancer partner as effectively as other selfish dps.
    That is the wrong way to look at it. You're acting like there is some god given reason BRD/DNC need the performance they have now, and that MCH is only that weak because it happens to be in the same role as BRD/DNC.

    How about this...
    I am tired of MCH holding DNC/BRD hostage. DNC/BRD have a huge indirect difficulty over MCH by depending on their team for their rDPS. The only way you can be a top BRD/DNC is if your whole team is on point, but they can't be rewarded for that because of MCH holding them back. I propose BRD/DNC rDPS get buffed up to a top performing dps job. And they can make a 4th rphys job, at MCH levels, to codify a 2 tier system inside the rphys role.

    See where that would leave MCH? You are asking for that, just for BRD/DNC. Having different performance tiers inside the whole of the dps role is a bad idea. It only causes problems, and fixes nothing.
