Red Mage is Range Combat? (Discussion)

[Dorander]

Another thing to keep in mind they are redoing the combat system. So who really knows what the big picture is.

This is such a misconception. They aren't 'redoing' the combat system. It's going to be the same in 4.0 as it has been since 2.0. They are just taking a look over the skills. Seeing what works, what doesn't, what isn't used, and either deleting them or reworking them. That's it.
