Actually, I would inform a RNG or COR in advance as well. Just because they typically have ranged weapons by default doesn't make them the best pulling choice. RNG and CORs have some of the highest-delay weapons in the game which can make pulling a pain in the arse in competitive camps. Additionally, CORs have a buff cycle to maintain and not every COR can juggle that and pull at the same time. I can, but I know plenty that can't.
As a RNG, I actually protest the idea of pulling because it takes away from my ability to DoT. No good reason for that, I'm a DD just as much as any WAR, MNK or other in the PT, if not moreso at times.
At any rate, these jobs aren't always "in the mood" to pull, sometimes we'd like to sub something other than /NIN to enjoy what our jobs can really do. Asking us to pull forces the issue of /NIN and takes a bit of fun out of both jobs. I subbed /WAR a lot during my RNG levelling and was always /RNG on COR.
