FF14 needs more variety when it comes to DPS and I know some of us miss when Summoner had dots or when Dragoon had bleeds and so on all I can do is hope they read this enjoy!

Green Mage: Magic Dot DPS class for FF14

Weapons: Mace or Wand

Main dots: Miasma, Disease, Virus, and Sap all dealing potency damage

dps filler: Bio cause it originally was a non elemental magic attack

Green Magick: as the dots do damage and Bio you gain 3 Green magic energy

once it gets to a certain point of Green energy you can cast a spell that puts on Venom a Massive dot damage dealing spell

Spellbound: There will be another source of energy called Spellbound which can after your dots do a certain amount of damage you can refresh em all at once Or Use Lancet dealing non elemental damage that draining Hp and MP from a target

DPS cooldowns: Darkness does dark damage

Heat: does fire damage

Drain: deals non elemental damage and converts damage to HP shares cooldown with Absorb

Absorb: deals non elemental damage and converts damage to MP shares cooldown with Drain

Haste: Faster spell casts and makes dots tick faster for 15 secs

AoE: Bane: spreads all dots on all target in range but dots do less damage

Malaise: filler does damage to all enemies in range

Defensive cooldown: Wall reduces damage by 15%

Limit Break: Pestilence: giant Poison Blob drops to the ground at high speed then plagues the land below on enemies
I'd dig 'green mage' if, for FFXIV, it had a more primal naturalist vibe... Kind of the Druid/Shaman caster rpg archetype, which is something we never had in any FF title (closer was the Berserker, but that's not a spellcaster) - this even kind of aligns with Yoshi P's will of designing unique jobs for XIV.

Conjurer/White Mage doesn't really fulfill that fantasy. To me they are the instagram witches, while a Green Mage would be the actual swamp witch, lol.
