Elementalist [ELM]
Magic-Melee DPS Class
Limit Break: Magic DPS
Battle-mages that specialize in switching between devastating elemental magics and fencing. Their spells are DoT based and rely on a rotation, switching from one DoT to the next, increasing their damage when used in the correct sequence, and adding stacks to the foe. Magic uses MP and is Intelligence-based, while their Fencing uses TP and Dexterity-based.

Elemental Spells and Cycle:
- The Elementalist main arsenal consists of both natural (Air, Earth, and Water) and aetheric (Fire, Ice, and Thunder) elements and weaving them together, creating a cycle. One cycle is called an Arcane Cycle.
- There are Three types of cycles: The Incorporeal Arcane Cycle (Fire, Thunder, Wind), Corporeal Arcane Cycle (Water, Ice, Earth), and the Complete Arcane Cycle (All Elements).
- Incorporeal Arcane Cycle: Fire => Thunder => Wind => Fire
- Corporeal Arcane Cycle: Water => Ice => Earth => Water
- Complete Arcane Cycle: Fire => Water => Thunder => Earth => Wind => Ice => Fire
- To progress through a cycle, the caster must cast the next Elemental Spell in the cycle on the previous spell's Attuned debuff.
- A cycle is complete when the caster recasts the first spell they cast in the cycle on the correct Attuned debuff.
- Upon completion of a cycle, a target shall receive one tally on an Arcane Cycle buff/debuff.
- One target can only have 10 tallies on an Arcane Cycle stacks on them at a time.
- Completing a Incorporeal Arcane Cycle places a tally on the selected enemy target (as a none removable-debuff).
- Completing a Corporeal Arcane Cycle places a tally on the caster (as a none removable-buff).
- Completing a Complete Arcane Cycle places a Incorporeal Arcane Cycle tally on the selected foe and a Corporeal Arcane Cycle tally on the caster.
- Arcane Cycle stacks will stay on the foe until they are killed, disengaged, the Elementalist who placed them on is killed, or all the tallies are used on the stack.
- Multiple foes can have an Arcane Cycle stack from the same Elementalist.
- Arcane Cycle stacks will stay on a caster until they are killed or use all the tallies on the stack.
- Casting the wrong elemental spell on the wrong Attuned debuff will NOT effect it but it will not count towards the cycle until the correct spell is cast. The Attuned debuff will disappear when time is up OR if the wrong Elemental spell's DoT ends and its Attunement buff pops up, the cycle will then be reset but it will not effect Arcane Cycle stacks.

Spells:
- Burn: Fire-based. Ignites the aether surrounding the selected target. Places a "Burn" DoT on the foe for 9 seconds and then places a "Fire-Attuned" debuff on them for 10 seconds.
- Drown: Water-based. Converts the aether surrounding the selected target into water. Places a "Drown" DoT on the foe for 9 seconds and then places a "Water-Attuned" debuff on them for 10 seconds.
- Shock: Thunder-based. Energizes the aether around the selected target. Places a "Shocked" DoT on the foe for 9 seconds and then places a "Thunder-Attuned" debuff on them for 10 seconds.
- Rasp: Earth-based. Uses aether to make minerals surrounding the selected target grind. Places a "Rasp" DoT on the foe for 9 seconds and then places a "Earth-Attuned" debuff on them for 10 seconds.
- Choke: Wind-based. Uses aether to push a great amount of air at the selected target. Places a "Choke" DoT on the foe for 9 seconds and then places a "Wind-Attuned" debuff on them for 10 seconds.
- Frost: Ice-based. Uses aether to freeze the selected target. Places a "Frost" DoT on the foe for 9 seconds and then places a "Ice-Attuned" debuff on them for 10 seconds.
- Osmosis: Uses 1 Incorporeal Arcane Cycle tally from a selected foe. Damages the targeted foe, converts 50% of it into MP, and adds one Corporeal Arcane tally to the caster's stack.
- Elementalshift: Changes the selected target's Attuned debuff to the next one in the cycle (This does count toward completing an Arcane Cycle). Also increases the chance of the next Elemental spell placing a Tactical Wheel buff on the caster by 15%

* One foe can only have one DoT and Attuning debuff on them per Elementalist.
** Any newly cast DoT will replace an older DoT.
*** The Attuning debuff will disappear when the opposing elemental spell is cast.

Fencing:
In order to protect themselves while attune their foes to the arcane cycle, Elemantalist have developed a special fencing technique to work in conjuncture with their spell.

Fencing Skills:
- Main Gauche: Uses 1 Corporeal Arcane Cycle tally from a targeted foe. Places a "Main Gauche" buff on the user for 10 seconds. The Main Gauche buff grants a 80% chance that the damage of a nearby enemy's attack will be decreased by 25% and will be countered for 50% of the damage. Some moves cannot be countered.
- Sabrage: Uses 1 Corporeal Arcane Cycle tally from the user. Does physical damage to a selected target from up to 15 yalms away and adds 1 Incorporeal Arcane Cycle tally to their stack.
- Checkmate: Uses all the Incorporeal Arcane Cycle tallies from a targeted foe. Endows your rapier with aether and causes their Arcane Cycle stacks to burst. Does 20 potency per Arcane Cycle stack.
- Point-in-Line: Uses 1 Incorporeal Arcane Cycle tally from a selected foe and 1 Corporeal Arcane Cycle tally from the caster. An instant cast ability that automatically parries and counters the targeted foe's attack for 25% of the damage. Timing must be correct in order to use.
- Wasp Sting: The Fencer thrusts towards their foe and places a Poison DoT on them for 10 seconds. Gap-Closer.
- Swarmstrike: Thrusts at a targeted enemy seven times. Each strike does a small amount of damage and has its own chance to be evaded and/or crit. Can be stopped by moving your character.
- Circle Blade: The fencer spins around in a circle, slashing every foe in a 5 yalm radius.
- Ripose: Deals damage to a foe and places a "Bleeding" DoT on the targeted foe for 5 seconds. This skill can ONLY be used after evading, parrying, or countering an enemies attack.
- Remise: A quick, second attack. Can only be used after a Physical Skill.

That's if SE can figure out how to make anything other then a healer out of Conjurer's skills.

It wouldn't be too hard. GEO could boost INT a lot and give them terrible MND. They could change Cleric Stance while GEO is equipped to be a stance that creates some sort of new mechanic for GEO (like WAR's Defiance). Add in Flood, Tornado and Quake, a form of MP restoral and some other ability/mechanic. The ancient magic could combo or work with Aero/Stone lines in order to make it a little interesting. They'd still have all their heals but at a reduced potency and would essentially function like a support DPS similar to how BRD supports the team.

I have a really hard time accepting GEO's wielding rapiers too. Outside of Final Fantasy Tactics they've always had a form of blunt weapon as their specialty. Bells, clubs, poles, maces etc. That makes CNJ another reason for their class of choice. Blunt weapons derived from nature.

I did actually have the Tactics version of Geomancers in mind when I designed the job... >w>()
They were more physical and hardy then other incarnations, who were all squishy mages (they even used swords and axes as weapons).
We already have two types of squishy mages, the burst-damaging Black Mages and DoT-single-targeting Summoners, so I figured why not have a Tanking mage to go along with my Red Mage.
