Red Mage (Tank) Please!

Not replying to the first part, because your argument has become even more confusing.

As for technically, I did not define before. I simply used the term. However, if you'd like a definition:
tech·ni·cal·ly
teknək(ə)lē/
adverb
1.
according to the facts or exact meaning of something; strictly.

strictly speaking, if there's a casting bar to most of their actions they are a caster. if knockbacks and movements make them lose most of their actions they are a caster.

i guess the real test is, what happens when a BRD gets silenced, can they still use what you call "skills" under Wanderer's Minuet.

I think for sanity we (as in the average player) use the term caster to refer to non-physical damaged based damage dealers whose abilities require a cast time, so in that sense BRD and MCH as ranged dps but not referred to as "casters" on most occasions
