    A class similar to Amon?

    Amon is without a doubt a performer. Going through Syrcus Tower and fighting him was a really enjoyable experience. I had hoped that a Performer class or something similar would be added but there was not. To satiate my desire for a job similar to Amon, I leveled both a Ninja and a Bard. Heavensward was released and I dropped them both for Astrologian which is eh.

    Bards didn't feel like bards anymore in HS, and until they add another mudra ninja doesn't fill my desire for the job. Ultimately, what I'm seeking is a midranged job that uses magic for DPS and augments the party with buffs.

    I thought about it and ultimately I feel the best way to do it would be to create a job that added stacks to the enemy and at the cost of these stacks you could use a "forte". The stacks on the enemy would cap at 9 stacks. Using a forte's would spend 3 to 4 stacks a with a longer cool down and a 150-200 potency output. Blizzard fortes being single target focused, thunder damage over time, and fire being AoE.

    A toggle skill would exist as well called "Diminuendo" which would change all fortes to pianos and prevent stack generation. Piano skills use 6 stacks. The 6 stack cost is to encourage players to continue to use fortes and keep raid wide damage up. Blizzard diminuendo would transfer a portion of damage done to the target who's stacks were spent as a shield to selected party member. Thunder diminuendo would be a party wide increase to spell speed/attack speed. It'd work as a toggle in conjunction with diminuendo and also drain MP. Fire diminuendo would increase selected allies damage to targeted mob.

    Clearly, there's no room for a pure support class so I figured this would be a nice wedge in the middle. It steps on no classes toes (sorry Selene) and could have a number of skills to augment it's kit. What do you all think?
