Vocations decent with both ranged and melee are the Mystic Knight, Magick Archer, Strider, Ranger, and Assassin. MK is my personal fav vocation in general because of their balance. They can brawl toe-to-toe like a Fighter/Warrior as they wear the same armor, and they can block with their magick shields. They can enchant the whole party with elemental effects, and they have some powerful spells for both close quarters and ranged attacks. The Great Cannon, the MK's signature ranges attack, doesn't have the range of the various bows, but it's projectiles home in on enemies though. They can take guys down physically or with magick just the same, up close or at range, they have good HP, and they have good defense thanks to the stouter armor & magick shield they use. Also aside from an exception or two, most of their bread & butter moves do not consume a lot of stamina. Holy Furor is the big exception to that rule.

Having said that, there are othr great vocations as well, and it's all about personal preference. You will no doubt end up playing most or all of the vocations at some point, and then decide which ones are best for you.
