I really like the idea of 'Stance' spells as a way to create the Jack-of-all-trades theme in a FFXIV RDM.

I could see something like this working; (RDM job skills)
  • Faith (spell-self only): Enhances Magic attack Power - Reduces melee attack power - Stacks up to 3x
  • Brave (spell-self only): Enhances Melee attack Power - Reduces magic attack power - Stacks up to 3x
  • Bubble (spell-self only): Doubles Maximum HP - Greatly reduces magic and melee attack power
  • Blossom Edge (weaponskill): Deals damage proportional to your enmity and then reduces it.
  • Chainspell (ability): Cast spells in rapid succession
