Or maybe add some other variable: run speed! This would allow for kiting, which actually IS the advantage of using ranged skills.. Then kiting naturally becomes better vs melee (yet not so much vs range, if the initial range of the mage is lower than a ranger he doesn't have advantage of his faster run speed) I've always thought run speed would be interesting, and make agility worth it. With resting the stamina boost is worth nothing. Maybe just add skills to each combat type like in WoW. Runescape would gain more people most likely.
