I don't get what you want at this point. The arrow is FFXIV's version of haste. Nothing is (and really shouldn't be) a carbon copy from the past.

They DO have a pointy hat. Astrologian was REVEALED in its signature pointy hat / time mage attire.

TIME Dilation doesn't deal with time? Light speed which makes cast times 0 doesn't affect time? Spear and Arrow which cause skills to hit more often aren't pseudo hastes?

Potency Enhanced arrow is probably as close as you're gonna get to a Hastaga in 14. Even if you add a haste skill, arrow already covers what early renditions of haste did. Again, it doesn't matter if it's not time mage to you, it is time mage.
