Idea for a new class, Mediator!

[HakuroDK]

I think Mediator is a very unique support job and would be very welcome! The only trouble is that I would recommend against any Crafter/Gatherer buffs and give Mediator some offensive capability for solo potential instead.

As for Mime... Mime is basically the mage analog to Freelancer. Which is to say... either the worst job in the game or the most overpowered job in the game, depending on skill level of other jobs.

Mediator was pretty much just a beastmaster that could charm people to? And to the occassional status effect...

If i recall, they used guns... which is even more reason I would really cringe to see it, cause there's so many better gun toteing options.

Oh, I know what Mediator is, don't worry. Though if it were applied, I doubt it would be exactly like Beastmaster, as Beastmaster would control an enemy monster directly like a pet job. In the case of Mediator, a charmed enemy (likely just trash mobs) would just attack on its own, just allies instead of enemies. That paired with various status effects to be used on allies and enemies alike, it could be a very solid support job that has an additional mechanic of temporarily taking on charmed trash mobs, maybe being able to use them in tandem with various mediator abilities, like giving them a massive damage buff that drains the target's HP so long as it's active or something.

Charm a trash mob, use it up, throw it out like a used-up packet of ketchup, charm the next one.
