Muse => Maestro Idea
Supportive Healer
Weapon: Flutes, these aether-attuned flutes allow the user's songs to effect others in a literal sense.
Auto-Attack: Ranged Pierce damage, uses Intelligence instead of Strength or Dexterity
Armor: Clothing
Limit Break: Healer
Important Stats: Mind for healing, Intelligence for DPS, and MP for skill-casting cost.
I know what everyone is thinking: "Don't we already have Bard as our Musical-Fighter?". And you are correct, Bards are our Musical-Fighters. Fighter. While Bard currently focuses more on Archery with a sprinkling of support, this class would focus more on healing and supporting.
I also think this will appeal to the small minority who wanted Bard to have a more supportive-less-archery-based role (which I am a part of) but not alienate those who like Bard the way it is now.
Muse [MUS]
Musician who march into battle, playing music on aether-attuned instruments to rise their allies' morale.
Backstory
Guild Location: Old Gridania
Guild Master: Marcheterre Agache, the son of two decorated, Twin-Adder Sergeants who wants to prove himself and his craft. What crazy schemes will he drag you into to try to achieve this?
