Create your class/job!

[whoopeeragon]

In light of the speculation of new classes and jobs, as well as my own boredom, I thought it would be nice to see how many of us have ideas for a new class/job that may have not been seen before in FF or other games! An original job that we have thought up at some point.

I actually went and thought up a new class/job when I thought if there was a mage class that used HP as well as MP as their source of input for spells (1.0's first THM gave me the idea with Sacrifice). I put the main focus as a mage which uses HP and MP to DPS and heal, similar to Dark Knight but more in the veins of a support. Similar to Arcanist, I made it with the options of it having a healer job and DPS job.

I don't even have a name for it yet, but Druid/Shaman seems to come to mind for the class name...(I also only have thought of abilities for the healer job branch. >_>)

I've put the abilities I thought of in spoilers to avoid a huge wall of text.
