RDM: You only have yourself to blame, if you expected something else

[Darkstride]

I really hope "someone" notices.
Also, I never stated that I expected him to be viable at both range and melee. The current approach where the melee buffs your damage output is fine. It´s just, that RDM hardly ever goes into melee.

A Red Mage should be going into melee as often as possible. The reason for casting your spells at range is to build mana to go in for the melee combo. It's also the only way to cast Verholy and Verflare. It's not a 50/50 split, but it's not "hardly ever". It's part of the rotation.
