Lets Talk - Red Mage

[SwordCoheir]

So lets resume

RDM should be a powerfull melee DD with Crit WS, Dualcast with low tier elemental spells and enfeebles and cures.

The fact he has all these magic skills would mean you have to nerf his melee potency or it will never be balanced.

I think that's the general idea by most of us, the focus would be magical damage but done through their weapons like en-spells or magical weaponskills rather than just plainly casting spells. Consider it a more consistent magic attacker, without having to rest every 2-3 minutes from draining their mp pools they're overall physical abilities are lacking but maintain some degree of need to function.
