Job Idea: Time Mage (DPS)

[miraidensetsu]

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.

Roles weren't that much enforced on earlier FF games (except on Tactics series, where classes had some sort of focus on its role).

For instance, on FFIX there were a blend of Summoner and White Mage, where Time Magic was distributed between Dagger, Eiko and Vivi. Yes, Vivi. Basically, while Dagger/Eiko were capable of recovering the party's HP, they could deliever the same damage as any DPS would do (up to 9999), like Zidane, Freya or Vivi.
