Red Mage, in my opinion, doesn't use its rapier enough as it's TOO caster centered. I feel like while the job is fun as-is, I would have liked to see it be more of a melee caster job using DEX as a main stat and having its magic scale of it's DEX (just like magic attacks performed by ninja)

Mage doesn't mean caster exclusively. People are already talking about Blue Mage being a tank....
