Note that I'm not saying they can't give us Geomancer. I just don't think WHM getting Glare is any indication of it.

And I don't think we'll get Time Mage just because it's potentially a problematic job.
i.e., they want to avoid Haste as much as possible.
I don't think WHM having it's elements is in any way a hurdle for Geomancer as a magical dps. They'd be seperate roles.

Likewise if AST gave Time Mage Gravity, it could probably keep its Celestial Stasis, because agsin, different roles.

No different to SMN/SCH. Same job, different roles.
Celestial Stasis is the OG Astrologer skill anyway, and Tactics still had Time Mage as a distinct job.

I do feel GEO is more likely thsn TIM though. Stripping Gravity from AST, while not impossible, is a sort of retcon, that they may not want to do.
There's also a lot more they could do with Geomancer, while Time Mage would have several tiers of Gravity, a situational Slow debuff, a bunch of DoTs maybe, and a personal Haste buff... and then what?
