So Red Mage stays true to its nature as a Range DPS Job with the main focus is the Range attacks with Melee being the "after" skills once Range Rotation is over.

If I have to guess we're maybe looking at level 50 to 60 for Range Combat and then as we level in Stormblood for level 61 to 70 that is maybe when we get our Melee Skills.
