The "Come up with an Original, XIV-Unique Job" Thread

A Dancer with few attacks but tons of buffs and debuffs. You will have a system kinda like Ninja mudras where you have skills that you activate in a combo-like sequence. Instead of knowing when to press what mudra and remembering the combos like ninjas do...you'd receive a proc every GCD or every few GCDs and if you press the corresponding button for that proc youd get a chain like greased lightning..When you mess up your chain breaks and you would stop applying your buffs/debuffs/etc temporarily and start your chain at 0. The bigger the chain, the bigger the buff/debuff potency up until certain percent..

Example: You select a song. Say, "Song Of Pain" which will be a weak aoe song that hurts any enemies within range. It pops a proc, "Red." Now you must press the "Red" skill to continue the song and gain increased potency up to something like 15%. If you press "Blue" instead on accident, you gain nothing and lose any existing stacks and end your current chain.

Just imagine Guitar Hero or Rock Band if you have played either. It would feel kinda like that.

Effects songs could have:
Seduce - lower damage dealt by enemies ??%.
Taunt - Increase enemy attack but lower accuracy significantly.
Rally/Battle Cry/Cheer - tp/hp/mp regen songs(not together in one song).
Pain - Damage to all enemies in a circle around the player.
Stat buff songs like Critical hit chance + small amount.
Songs for mitigation of like 5%.

That sort of thing. Of course I didnt take the time to make the idea balanced so it might seem crazy without readjusting the numbers lol.

I would imagine a dancer using fans or clothing. Like how a monk uses gloves, a dancer could use bracelets or something. I also would like to see dancer actions fitting in with the lore as ancient techniques used by something like Vierra if they get introduced or by a mischievous band of traveling gypsy like characters.(im not good with writting \o/ ..so sue me)
