Strongest Job Lorewise?

[Nalien]

Player ASTs are capable of stopping time. It's what Celestial Opposition is.

Is it? Because I'm reading "Stun" instead of "Stop", though even if it applied a Stop effect (which is really no different than Stun, except I imagine it would pause cooldowns as well, and not interrupt cast times, just pause them... kinda want that now...) that would still be a Stop effect on targeted individuals. Time wouldn't be paused, just peoples perception of it.

Still arguably powerful, but... If I shoot an Astrologian, them pausing my perception of time does not stop my bullet.

it also increase the duration of the ast buffs on the whole party

Which is the same effect as Time Dilation, and the NPC actually explained how Time Dilation "cheats" our perception of time, IIRC. Realistically if either were real time manipulation, they'd not be limited to the Astrologians buffs (see: 2.5s Ascian fight, where real time manipulation occurs and it extends the duration of all our buffs).

Astrologian messes with time perception, not time itself. That's still powerful, but it's not dodge bullets powerful. Though as Y'stola has demonstrated countless times, you don't need to dodge bullets when you have a bubble shield...
