    While id love to see that as a job, My issues with your suggestion would be :

    +25% and +50%s are way Massively OP, 5%, 10%, maybe at a push 15% are more realistic
    Longer fights are where the Job could/should be at its most powerful.
    The Short trash fights would last seconds with those buffs at that level, unless they have really short timers (5seconds) and really long cool down's2mins+ for AoE).
    Actually you could have those buffs at that % if they were single target only with a decent cooldown 30s+ lasting 20s?.
    Time buster II would need a higher Cost to skip 2 turns 3k tp imo.

    Oh an AA has to be un affected by speed buffs imo.
    And the Mage themselves should not get the speed buffs as it would be a job so it should benefit group play only not the individual.

    And where did "Young Mind" from.. I can't remember seeing that in a FF off hand. and dosnt seem a TM spell as Lienn says, could swap it for Vanish :
    - Character turns intangible to physical attacks (8s II 17s), but in exchange, its Magic Evasion is nullified.


    Final Fantasy wiki
    Good link if your going to build classes up, and no sign of that "Young mind" spell
    An sorry if i seemed negative, just trying to think more balanced, the overall is a good build.

    Most of the job abilities in XI were never heard of before, not to mention most all the abilities in XIV are new as well. So why limit abilities to what was only used in the past?

    If a time mage has the ability to speed up and slow down time, why can't they help speed up battles by increases your MP regen over time?
    If you answer is that's not how they did it in XI, then I don't consider that a valid answer.

    I didn't play 11 much past dunes, to much standing around. Nice try though.
    It was simply a question, as i was curious to the answer.
    Along with my opinion on it not feeling like an ability a TM would have.

    I'd like to see a TM controlling the flow of battle not bolstering the players.
    I only left Reflect alone as its a classic ability for that type of magic.

    The comment was based off the fact that con/them are split both have benefits but cant do what the other does in the same way.
    If a TM would control the speed of a battle and the actions, I don't really feel it should be able to bolster the players hp/mp/regen, save that for another Job.
