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

[Kosmos992k]

To the OP's question, obviously the use of armor will figure in this.

actually... WHM already is a partially close range magick attacker, with holy, fluid aura and assize. how does a squishy mage work in meele range you ask? well, we have tanks in this game...

Give mages back their shields!

don't get hit.

Red Mage is also a dancer...confirmed.
