Too bad? There's no reason for it. There's a real lack of ranged DPS that doesn't have cast timers, zero. There's a lack of DPS that use swords, also zero. Nothing specifically about what you want is actually needed in the current state of the game.

It's called magic, more specifically Phalanx. They can also have parry traits with their fencing style swords that minimizes actual damage taken.
