Class - Spell Fencer: Melee Caster + debuffer. Combos lead to granting your weapon an element status which reduces resistance of an element for a short time (think elemental wheel sort of debuff). Instant abilities are combo finishers and crowd control ability such as silence short silence for your interrupt. The main class ability gimmick is a instant triple cast yet it's dependent on the weapons element. Having no element bonus on your weapon leads to triple ruin strike (increases unaspected damage for a short time), wind blade strike = triple aero (increases fire damage for a short time), Lightning Blade strike = triple thunder (increases earth damage for a short time). (increases smn/sch, blm, and whm damage)
Job 1 - Elementalist: Melee debuffer hybrid (like the opposite of a Bard). More focus on strengthening the element down debuff on the enemies. Level 50 Job ability is Elementalshift (refresh the resistance down debuff to another element. Ex: unaspected to fire, fire to earth, earth to unaspected). Other abilities are Elemental Whip types that focus on damage + cc.
Job 2 - Red Mage: Melee Caster (Damage focus). Combos lead to elemental weapon and a quick (job specific) spells cast. More focus on dealing damage. Level 50 job ability is Double Cast.
Class Rotation Example
Single target: Swarmtrike (mutiple hits) > Piercethrough (moves you through the target) > (select element you want to apply if any) > Mana Strike (embued weapon with said element) > "element" strike (applies debuff for 24 seconds)
Mutliple target: Swarmtrike (mutiple hits) > Piercethrough (moves you through the target) > (select element you want to apply if any) > Mana Strike (embued weapon with said element) > Swallowtail (hits surrounding units and applies debuff for 8 seconds)
Job Rotation example Elementalist
ST: Swarmtrike > Piercethrough > (select element you want to apply if any) > Mana Strike > "Element" Strike > "Element" Whip > Elementalshift > "Element" Whip
MT: Swarmtrike > Piercethrough > (select element you want to apply if any) > Mana Strike > Swallowtail > "Element" Whip > Elementalshift > "Element" Whip
Job Rotation example Red Mage
ST: Swarmtrike > Piercethrough > (select element you want to apply if any) > Mana Strike > "Element" Strike > Double Cast > Dia
MT: Swarmtrike > Piercethrough > (select element you want to apply if any) > Mana Strike > Swallowtail> Double Cast > Dia II
