Geomancer Hammer? Not the next healer but what is?

Uhm, good old Tactics plus Tactics A2 like to speak with you, as you have forgotten to mention swords/axes (Tactics) and poles (A2) being also possible weapons for this job.

Traditionally, bells are the weapon associated with the class. He didn’t say only use bells in every title.

If Time Mage is an actual battlemage I'll have a nerdgasm. But we do need another healer.

Um... yes?
We definitely need another healer, are you insane?

Well Tanks, Melee and Casters have 4 jobs each? why can't healers?

(Yes I'm aware of the homogenization problem)

There is no way that blue mage is being included in the casters. That is limited.

Still leaves 4 Tanks and 4 Melees, While Healers and Phys Ranged still have 3

Well, seeing how tanks healers and DPS usually have a 1:1:2 ratio in parties, we are over full on DPS right now.

People are getting hung up on the "battlemage" name from FF12. Both Time and Red mages in FF12 are called "Red/Time Battlemages" because the developers wanted to highlight their more martial options compared to previous iterations. For instance, the Time Battlemage can equip heavy armor and crossbows with the appropriate licenses from their board, but ability-wise they are still very tried and true buff/debuffers with all their actual spells focused on casting haste/slow/stop/reflect/gravity/etc.

Wasn't arguing that part! For classes that are not limited the groups that have three are caster, healer and ranged physical. And we just got a physical ranged, so the next two for 6.0 are most likely a healer and a caster.
