I made a mistake by ignoring the dev discussions (AST changes)

we definitely should feel more "time magey" as that's what i wanted this class to be, and that's what this class IS, just with a different theme to make it a "healer" and not a "dps support" basically

I am on a different boat - I'd prefer to have a real Time Mage job and not this identity theft.

i'm also not against this, and i didn't say i was against that concept, i certainly would have liked this, myself

Time Mage is probably one of my if not definitely my favorite class in the Final Fantasy universe, right under Mime

but, eh, it's not like they'd remove the entire class or switch its role entirely, so we kinda have to accept what we got

honestly, i can understand their direction of it, "time magic" in an MMO would just be "too" support-y and "too" debuff-y, i feel like it'd just be required in every group at that point, unless they made it REALLY different... i dunno, it all really just depends on what they would have decided on to do with it, i suppose it could have just been basic party buffs, then full dps rotations, but, eeeeehhhh
