This is a revision of my previous Green Mage job idea so that it fits with how jobs currently are.
*Please note, this was designed purely for fun and I do NOT expect SE to implement it in any way, shape, or form.*
Green Mage (GNM)
Buffing-and Burst-based Healer with Melee DPS
Weapon: Maces/Hammers
Attack: Blunt, Close-Range
Gear: Healing
Limit Break: Green Dominion (Healer)
Role Abilities: Healer
Important Stats: MND for Damage and Healing, MP for Spell Cost
Inspiration: Green Mages from Tactics A2, Green Magick from XII, clerics and druids in fantasy RPGs
TL;DR version
Nature Healer (taking that role over from WHM >w> )
Gain special mana by damaging enemies and healing allies.
Use the special mana on continuous buffing spells that you can only use one at a time and a few supportive abilities.
Healing is mainly burst-based with a few indirect heals.
DPS is mainly melee-ranged weaponskills with a few spells.
Lore
Rabanastian mages who have attuned their aether to that of "the Green", mystical and mysterious entities that make their homes in sacred forests.
While healing allies and battling enemies, Green Mages gain favor with the Green in the form of Green Mana to fuel their Green Magicks.
Green Mage's main battle tactic is to use the brunt of the their magick to either heal or support allies, while relying on their maces and few offensive spells to ward off enemies.
Special Mechanics
Weaponskills
When using their weapons for Weaponskills and Abilities, Green Mages infuse it with magick, resulting in Magical Damage.
These use the user's MND stat and do not cost MP.
Auto-Attacks still uses the user's STR stat and does Physical Damage.
Green Magick and Green Mana
By healing allies and damaging foes, Green Mages gain favor with the Green in the form of Green Mana.
Using the Green Mana they collect, Green Mages can tap into the power of Green Magicks.

Auto-Attacks grant the user 1 Green Mana point.
