Red Mage is Range Combat? (Discussion)

[Shurrikhan]

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

It's a skill by skill re-look that will either (a) buff/modify the skill, or (b) remove the choice entirely, focused only on those skills that are already rarely used, have designs that cause unnecessary contention in reaching what the skill was designed for, or could be better visually integrated for job identity. Little to nothing is be changed about the combat system itself.
