Normal farming fodder mobs you could probably meleeing + help cure and whatnot, and sleeping links, which is more important. Between maintaining rolls, helping cures, and sleeping adds, I don't think you will have enough time to melee.
NM tier 1-5 farm, you must focus on rolls, swapping party at the ready, and then stay out away from harm's way and help status removal + haste your party members. As well as sleeping links that repop during NMs battle - this do happens, and it can go straight to your mages.
