Melee Shield Healer Idea

[Feidam]

I mean, RDM has set the precedence for having melee skills within a magical class and everything just works - which means it's possible to throw the class into the same stat pool as the healer gear. Thematically, it would make the most sense to stick them either in the tank gear or the DRG gear as that generally tends to be plate and mail type armor.

They’d have to change how the base stats functions for a specific class which I don’t see them doing. However have a melee mage or two might help the casters get morE gear designs that would fit the redmage. I mean they are not exactly robed magic users.
