Job Idea: Time Mage (DPS)

[Cherie]

A time mage would be awesome... whenever people bring it up, it reminds me of that anime Madoka Magica and the character Homura who basically was a time mage.

Basically a Level 1 Time Mage:


Level 70 Time Mage:

I believe I heard Yoshi P say that Time Mage could still happen. I can’t remember where, but I do remember him saying it.

Before or after AST came ingame?
Because I can remember that during the AST introduction they described the job as the FF XIV version of Time Mage.

He talked about how it was considered back when they were choosing jobs to add to SB in a interview with Dualshockers back when patch 3.5 part 2 came out:
Of course, there other jobs were considered: when thinking of magic you might think of Time Mage, which could have been a good candidate, but of course there was a very high demand for Red Mage...

There was also mention of Geomancer in the Astro questline. Both Time Mage and Geo are too similar in a way to Astro to warrant these jobs being added i think, i would much rather have Dancer and maybe Blu be implemented.
I do like your view and ideas however OP, that is different

[Hitsuzen]

I support this, cause I remember spamming meteo in ffv XD

[Fhaerron]

Seems interesting.

Though personally I would love if we get something like a Necromancer or Warlock.

A mage using darkness & death ... a bit like Dark Knight but in DPS and caster form.

I think is already in the game. Astrologian is a mixture between a Time Mage and a Gambler. We can consider the Astrologian as a Time Mage, even the artifact job gear in Heavensward is based on the classic Final Fantasy Time Mage suit. One of their iconic spells is on Astrologian arsenal, Gravity (Called Demi in some games). Also, thye have capacity of manipulate time-space with some spells and cards, like The Arrow card, Time Dilatation, Gravity, Ligthspeed...

I don't even know why I bother posting these job ideas here anymore. Most people just read the title and post the same sentences. =w=
I designed this for fun and to see if I could make Time Mage work in this game and not play like Astrologian.
Yes, I am aware that thematically, Time Mage and Astrologian are similar. That doesn't mean you can't differentiate them through gameplay.
It's annoying to see that people just come into a thread and don't even bother to read the actual post. They just want to belch their opinion based on the title and not actually discuss the subject at hand... =A=

So basically people consider AST to be the Time Mage because it has.... Time Dilatation and Gravity and can sometime give haste?
There's a bit more to Time Mage than Gravity and Haste.

I'm not trying to deny the fact that AST do has some Time Magic, but that's it. It just has "some".

The AST doesn't feel like a Time Mage at all. I can't even recall a single game where Time Mage was a considered a healer. It's always been an offensive support with access to a regain spell at most.

Time Mage has too much of a strong identity to be ignored by SE. Like other "core" job such as Blue Mage for instance, it just a matter of time before they include it in the game.
