Red Mage is Range Combat? (Discussion)

Some use it as a primary healer, others, their primary magic DPS. Some use it for the melee attacks, and backup spells. There are two things that make a RDM a RDM.

RDM is a jack-of-all-trades. Using it as a primary anything is purposely gimping your party.

While true, some just work better that way. Think I ran FF1 with a Warrior, Thief, Blackmage and Redmage, guess who got stuck healing when it was needed? :P

That's still gimping your party. You would have even better off using a White Mage. The point I was trying to make is that if you purposely choose a RDM as your primary anything you are not nearly as strong as you would be if you chose a job more focused on that role.

Kind of off topic, but in FF1, there was little to no point of taking WHM or BLM over RDM because the intelligence stat did not work.

They did fix that in the re-releases though. >w>
