How can SE make sure in melee Range RDM isnt squishy as a caster?

A lot of ranged players think that being at ranged somehow means they take less damage, which is entirely untrue, as long as you dodge AoEs and don't stand in front of the boss and get swiped you take no more damage in melee range than standing far away, on top of that you make it easier for the healers to heal everyone at once when you're all grouped up.

This. I started as a ranged player, then when I first started a melee class it was scary how close I had to stand to the mobs, but really as long as you aren't either the target of the mob or standing in front of its face when it cleaves, you can stand right in its asscrack and take no damage at all, other than unavoidable partywide aoe.

Red mages will be fine standing in melee distance.
