Time Mage Awareness

[Duelle]

Just my opinion and thoughts here, but I think Time Mage will be more of a damage over time damage dealer while also has an arsenal of spells such as Demi, Gravity, and some non-elemental spells to do damages.

I'll disagree unless Demi is completely remade in an original way that does not play with HP percentages like it does in the console FFs. Gravity would need to be reworked as well, given that FFXI Gravity was terrible.

Time Mage I doubt would ever be a healing job or have any healing spells unless you sub it with conj/whm healing spells which would then can be consider a backup healer job.

Here's the thing: We need more diversity in the healing department. Yes, Final Fantasy put all of its stock in WHM as the healer job, but you can't cling to that if you want to move forward in an MMORPG. Just as there is variety in DPS and some (limited) variety in tanking, there needs to be variety in healing as well. You can have people who may want to heal but don't like how WHM plays. Those are potential players that can be added to the pool of healers if you give them a way to take up the role without getting funneled to one job. At the end, something's gotta give.

FFXI Gravity was based on exactly what it's meant to do and that is to put heavy weight on the target so it isn't terrible.
Unless you based it on some other kind of gravity...maybe compression you are talking about that cause a target agonizing pain to the body due to high compressions?

Also I am basing gravity as a non-damaging dealing spell. I may have worded incorrectly and it seems as if Im adding gravity to a damaging spells category, which I didnt meant to.

This is where Alchemist comes into the game. Or should I say, a Medic that uses cute little Winnie the Pooh and Hello Kitty Band Aid to cure party members :P

But seriously, I based Time Mage on as what it's meant to do and that is based on my thoughts as Time Mage only. So if we are talking about adding a alternative healing jobs, I'd say Alchemist/Medic, Dancer, and quite possibly a BARD (If Bard has been changed to a stand alone bard and not a bard archer we know of 1.0) can be.

Edited* Almost forgot about RDM being as a 2nd main heal with more higher tier Cure but that would make some people unhappy because people would expect RDM to be a whm...
