However people built their characters over the years doesn't necessarily matter.
The health of the server is based on end-game content, and those skills alone trivialize MVPing to such an extent that it's possible to kill the highest tier (not including the new GH Instance MVP) 'bosses' in a few seconds.
In the case of GFist, it's possible to 1-shot many low to mid-tier MVPs.
The ranged nerf was specifically for Rangers, although it affects any class that takes on MVPs at range. I believe this is fair due to it being eminently possible to cheese MVPs at long range, sometimes without ever taking damage.
More discussion and perspective would be welcome.

I'd also like to mention that I have a Gen, and I find it disturbing how easy/cheap it is to kill MVPs and roll ET solo.

That is fine, but, no one will ever play a MVP sura again. Gene's will still win throwing 150k bombs. Give me more reason to bring my GX places xD
cutting bomb in half would just make noob gene's beyond powerless at comp, at least now a noob gene can beat a vet if he finds it first

It shouldn't really be possible for a new-ish, undergeared player to comp successfully against a veteran. They should start lower and work their way up to the big boys.
Maybe MVPs should be given a special MVP Defending Aura (in place of the 25% ranged redux and 50% skill redux) that functions against Acid Bomb, and the proc condition would be 60% activation: 'hit by a ranged attack'.
I'd still like to see Suras doing far less burst damage to MVPs though. Does anyone have a realistic idea for accomplishing this? I'm at a loss, and since I don't play Sura I don't know what would be 'balanced'.

it is kinda -_-ty that to compete you HAVE to make one of a handful of classes... but this game HATES balance in every aspect...

Well tbh it's very common for MMOs to have specialized classes that excel at particular aspects of the game.
RO's problem is that they have several classes that are TOO good at particular things, making it possible to solo things that, on paper, should require a party of 5 or more.
We have a class that's good at practically everything, a class that completely murders everything in PvM, a class that makes bosses a cakewalk, a class that destroys PvP without any effort, and the rest of the classes are kinda meh in comparison.

Wanderer do need some kind of buff in Endgame activities. BTW where are the Warlock and Sorcerer analysis in the Endgame activities?

Any class can be called op if you gear it to the teeth.

Sorcerer is the best MvP'r versus a certain high end mvp

Bako? Warlock kills it much faster than Sorc. Sorc is cheaper to gear though.

Nah not bako

Tetra Warlock if geared properly can solo almost all MVP's such as Ifrit, Cecil MVP, Kraken etc.

Buff the MVP don't nerf the class

What people don't seem to get is that the current MVPs were designed pre 3rd classes and the incoming MVP's are designed around the idea that GTB doesn't exist.
