It's possible RNG still fills roles that other jobs cant, but they definitely don't fill some of the roles that they shared with most melees anymore. Whether you think thats a good thing or not is up to opinion. There's always the argument that "we spend gil to do damage so we should do more" which is always lingering in the back of this debate that I'm not sure really how much validity it should hold. I think you still invite RNGs to merit PTs, but it will be introduced with "well do we have a solid tank to hold aggro for the majority of the fight" and if not, will this be worth inviting them.
With the current numbers I would not take my RNG to a merit party. Maybe if these numbers are bugged and get fixed and the reality is significantly different, but I don't see how I could do effective DPS near that of any other DD class with the change.
The so-called sweet spot damage is not higher than my old regular damage was.
To clarify I am hitting harder than Ive ever hit on THF with a crossbow. About 10% higher in the 4-6 yalm area. I'm not sure if there's a higher spot than that tho.
