ok im gonna laugh at you jerks when you log on november 22nd and see a time mage run by.

rdm and whm may have haste but do they have hastega, or slowga? obviously rdm has a little magic from
other jobs like healing, and elemental magic, so why not have slow and hate from time mage?
I believe if timemage is one of the new jobs, it will be kind of similar to redmage but instead of healing magic it will have DD spells like meteor or such. so it will be enfeebler/DD

What about Comet? Meteor? MeteorII??? Oooo.. Id love to cast that spell ^^

No time mage? unbalance the game?


Yeah because SE have never done that before have they...

they won't add another mage job in this release for 2 reasons. the ratio of jobs with mp and mp type abilities to jobs without mp is getting too cloes to 1/1

for mage jobs you have
blm, whm, rdm, smn, blu, pld, drk,

for mage type you have nin, cor, pup and brd. nin have spells that use the tools, bard and cor sonds and rolls grant magic type effects and pup has the ability to cast spells

for strictly melee
war, mnk, thf, rng, bst, drg, sam

for many reasons timemage will not be the new job

lets see why

basic time magic spells- slow, haste, gravity, stop, dot spells, float, berserk, just to name a few

now, whm and rdm get haste, slow, dot spells, rdm has gravity and war has berserk

float i'd consider barstone cause it's purpose is to eliminate the element of spells

also how would they me able to justify granting a job slow 2 after they made it a meritable spell for red mage. a time mage would naturally get a higher tier slow spell then a red mage and they would undoubtly get haste sooner.

other time magic spells that have been seen in games are comit and meteor. they cannot and will not intorduce those spells into thie game anytime soon. and meteor will eventually be a blm spell that required more then one mage to sucessfully cast as shown in the intro movie.

i have no idea what kind of job they are doing to ovver in this nex expansion but knowing square it's going to be something unexpected, or there wouldn;t be so much secrecy about it

they really need to introduce a new tanking job, but i'm not sure how they can without incorporating an overlap. they have dd's basically coverey in this game and like I said before, they won't make a typical mp reliant mage. it is highly possiblye that they could introduce a healing job that functions more like ninja, with scrolls or suitras instead of consuming mp.

it's all up in the air still, but that's my 2 cents

I'm just gonna wait and see what they have instore for us. Time mage would be nice, so long as it's not nerfed in any way.

bet u guys 100 dollas that Time Mage is this "new" job that is to be announced... XD
