Red Mage is Range Combat? (Discussion)

[Pomelo]

I dont understand how you can be worried about RDM being mainly caster when it uses 3 sword skills in the video. It is categorized as ranged DPS because all jobs have a role that shares a specific LB and soon to be specific cross class skills. If things stay the same, this means RDM will likely get things like swiftcast, Raging strikes, Bliz 2 and other junk. It does both ranged and melee, as seen in the video, but it is classified in the "Rnaged Magic DPS" role for the sake of classification within the game.

I really like your post, and agree with it a lot. The term ranged dps might in fact even be a placeholder until the combat system revamp/cross class skills and so on are announced for Stormblood.

Woops double.
