NEEDED Disciple of Magic DPS Jobs

[Felis]

Red Mage is coming in 4.0, a potential magic DPS job (I hope a melee caster ^^)

We have 8 DoW. And 5 DoM.

More DoM are needed. DoM are all healers while DoW are all Tanks. That leaves 2 magic dps for the DPS role and 5 DoW for the DPS role.

Sounds fair and balanced all that fun stuff.

That leaves 2 magic dps for the DPS role and 5 DoW for the DPS role.

Lumping Ranged with Melee just because they're both DoW is hardly logical. If the argument for another magic DPS class is for more variance in playstyle than the ones we already have, both range classes play far more similar to a DoM when considering playstyles. I wouldn't lump range in with DoMs, but nor would I with melee.

Red mage tank, plz! ;u; I rather not see my suave swashbuckling fencer as a dps, and I don't think it even fits as one.

When I played Warhammer Online some of the mages classes I played there were melee range mages using a melee weapons and using magic and bashing mobs at the same time. There is nothing conflicting with using magic and bash mobs with a swashbucling fence as a DPS mage. Not all the mage classes are squishie with light armor and stay in the background.
