The Revenge of Monster Magnet!

You don't just exclude Paladins and Mages. They're still a class no matter how imbalanced. And no you don't just say you can complain about your HP problems.

Ranged characters are the exact same thing as Lions in Trickster. For the sake of having all that fast insanely high offensive power, you lack defensive power. That is balance.

The problem is surviving, though. Not being useful. Pink Been totally owns ranged at the last phase. Ok with that. But hey, we are useful for the rest! The problem is that... Well, that whole screen attack kills all ranged in sight without a second chance (UNLESS you get lucky). Surviving 1 hit is hard enough, surviving 3 is quite nice already. We only want 1 hit, or just being able to dodge them, making us move constantly, and therefore not attacking that much.

I don't know how it works on Trickster, but I have the feeling that any character can survive a boss. At least at a high enough level.
