Time Mage (An Idea)

[Shalan]

*cries in AST*


Serious moment though, while I haven't played any of them it does seem that FFXIV classes pull heavily from past FF games. In this case, Time Mage already exists and has a reputation as a buff/debuffer with more of a DPS/Support theme than a tanking theme (wears robes, uses daggers/staves, etc.).
Additionally, AST used to have a lot more connections to the Time Mage abilities (Disable, Stella, Time Dilation, Gravity, Benefic to name a few [though most have since been removed]), and that + the class lore leads me to thinking they're already implemented as a psuedo-Time Mage, and therefore a tank version is not going to happen.
