Offcasting refers to casting on characters not normally intended for casting (Exclude Magician, Warlock, and Alchemist).
You can cast on all characters, it just depends how effective they are.
You see a spike of people shifting the meta to offcasting at the moment as they are consolidating their gear.
To be honest, in my opinion, unless you have great ee/mana and stat/mana gear just stick to melee instead of offcasting.
Other people will feel differently though.
Pretty much the basics to off caster.
A guardian will never be an off caster since they can not cast damage charms, but they are better off Melee/Heal or Melee/Tank build.
Most off casters are Paladin, Monk & Ninja... a Samurai is harder.
Off caster gear relates to +int Axe / Dagger / Sword in conjunction with Chain / Plate with Int etc, Normally, at low levels, you just stick with melee with these characters and mid to high level you switch to +Int gear... if you are lucky they have EE as well, or another stat like Dex or Strength.
Your stat placement becomes more of a factor instead of just Vitality or Int (caster related).
