which would kind of be cool? like Thunder Spikes, duration 30 seconds, while under this effect the caster cannot be interrupted.
Ah, yes. My eyeballs grabbed onto "Ranged casting" and skipped over the "Casters in general."

It could work. Like you said, they'd likely need Black Mage as a Cross class ((Shame of you...)) and plenty of uninteruptible skills and skills that prevent one from being interrupted.

As for TOR's Ranged tanks. Basically they're Tanks that use gun. They still fight at melee range, unless the enemy is also righting at range.
