SCH doesn't have high enough Enfeebling Magic for their Enfeebles to land.

Also, Time mage should be able to make JA timers go down faster.

Huh? SCH has the second highest enfeebling next to rdm..(with arts up of course)

in fact, they are very good at landing enfeebles, they are much higher then BLM..

they even have JAs to help with more accuracy.

They start at a D, I think dark arts only puts them up to the same C+ as BLM.

Doesnt sch technically have a B on every magic skills ?

[Miera]

No, they still cannot compete with a RDM and in Abyssea it truly shows.

SCH have a D ranking in basically every magic skill but with Light/Dark arts its boosted to a B.

Just because they have the second highest doesn't mean they can successfully land an Enfeeble on hard mobs. I'd take a RDM over a SCH anytime if it were up to sticking enfeebles.

No basically about it. lol

Bad pun. All SCHs have Ds. >.>

Anyway, Time Mage right now as a job would be now impossible to introduce, given the current spells distribution among the rest of the mages. It's the type of job which should have been introduced from the beginning, or in the first expansions, since right now they would either be not unique at all and remove many "defining" spells from other jobs, or be too bizarre just in order to make them different enough.

Also, Meteo(r) isn't Time Mage exclusive: in FFIII it was Black Magic. In FFIV was Black Magic too (only Rydia and Fusoya could use it). FFV, the game of the job's debut, was Time Mage exclusive. FFVI has no real jobs and anyway everyone could learn it so doesn't count. FFVII is a plot device. FFVIII is in the same situation as FFVI. FFIX is cast by Vivi, THE Black Mage. In FFXII is Exodus' final attack, so no job correlation. FFT, also known as the greatest game of all time, gives Meteor to Time Mages. In FFTA 1 and 2, It's an Alchemist spell.

So, tl;dr version: Athough it's a spell used by several characters/classes, if anyone has the right to claim Meteor's ownage, it's BLM.

I think there's a point being missed here. Ah well. If SCH is the current #2, regardless of how much better RDM is. I think the point remains that if Time Mage was implemented, it would either become the #2 (thus resulting in it merely replacing SCH on the enfeebling skill scale), still sitting in the shadow of RDM or it would surpass RDM (removing a good amount of their use), no?

[jeffanddane]

Well the description for it fits D:< Time Mage = Masters of Space and Time meteor would fully be in there grasps of things to do <@.
