How would you design Red Mage in FFXIV?

[File2ish]

I'd prefer to have it be a DPS role branching from a Fencer class, preferably a hybrid job. But tank would be acceptable if it branched off from Gladiator I guess.

If from fencer no shields, maybe off hand (if any) is a parry dagger (like a main gauche). Relic is Murgleis. If off hand included (like PLD), maybe Terpsichore if Dancer is never added to the game (otherwise Mandau or something).

All this is assuming from a Fencer class, not Gladiator:

Job Abilities:
-Enspell - ability like PLD's Sword Oath (add's X amount of potency to auto attack). Make it use MP per tick (like Bard songs). Enspell element changes per skill use (next section).
-Dualcast/Chainspell - Next spell casts twice, double MP use. 1 min Cooldown
-Refresh - I don't want to be a "refresh" mage, but yeah. Maybe only recovers 20% total MP, not instant, 2 minute CD (like Shroud of Saints). Can apply to party members.
-Composure - Self buff, makes other self buffs lasts 3 times as long and 3 times as potent if applicable (ability from FFXI =p), does NOT apply to Protect nor spells cast on you from other players. (Note: I don't have stoneskin listed as a cross class, 30% SS would be cheap as hell). 5min CD.
-Blink - Adds 3 shadows, chance to avoid a hit directed at you while up. Any AoE eats all shadows AND hits you so dodging is imperitive. Composure applies.


Fencer's offensive abilities include Froststrike and the like (like Ravager abilities in XIII). Skill combos like MNK and DRG. Froststrike (base, like fastblade) -> Flamestrike (higher damage, maybe a self buff, say faith (int+) and/or bravery(str+) for 5 seconds), Sparkstrike (highest damage, applies 40 potency 8 second DoT, crit DoT adds short paralyze, immunity builds). Also Aerostrike (adds 15 potency 18 second DoT) -> Aquastrike (Low damage, MP recover like riot blade). Non GCD -> Stonecudgel [can't think of a name] (Low damage blunt attack-- pacify, determination down, or stun), 30 second recast, like WAR and DRG stuns. Maybe add other abilities for like blind and paralyze.

THM/CNJ cross class. Fire/Blizzard/Thunder/Swiftcast/Surecast from THM, Stone/Cure/Aero/Raise/Protect from CNJ. Fire/Blizzard with no Astral/Umbral, Thunder, and Stone and Cure is where dualcast comes in. Swiftcast+dualcast= 2 instant fires or stones for extra damage to plug in between cooldowns, not main source of damage. Or two instant cures on self or a party member, cures would be as potent as a PLD/BLM/SMN's probably since this build would likely focus on STR and INT.
