Ranged and Casters practically go hand in hand with each other and the set up is practically guaranteed.
Why is it that Casters and Ranged go hand in hand though? BLM, for example, has very little utility, so why is the perfect DPS composition not MNK/DRG/NIN/MCH? Since MCH can buff phys. dmg, there is no need for a caster if you don't strictly need magic damage like in T11.
