Path of the Sword Choice [SAM or RDM]

[Stitches1974]

it's been stated that it uses high speed positioning to move between melee and ranged.
It has a rapier and crystal, that can be combined into a staff, or used as rapier, so you use both melee and ranged magic skills.
It will use int for both melee and magic skills, to simplify things, just like NIN uses dex for mudras, melee jobs using str for ranged skills, MNK using str for self heal, etc.

Again, why would Yoshi state it was a ranged class if that was the case? Until I see hard proof that states otherwise, that's I'm going by.
