it doesn't have to be exactly melee roles, like i said blue mage can be like jack of all trade dps. perhaps we can make some skills that hits harder the closer they are cast to target. afaik we also have Jkick as gap closer atm right? it'll work out too, of course jack of all trades is master of none, so perhaps you can't make them too strong, but the damage scale have quite the skill ceiling. kinda high skill high reward play, you can play it comfy and safe and deals decent dps, or go the extra mile and optimize it.
