Time Mage Job Class – Final Fantasy Tactics
These guys fiddle around with time to either speed up your team or slow down the enemy. Just like Priest they can be fun for a while, but in the test of a challenging battle they're not very helpful. Their abilities are more useful as a secondary skill.
Requirements: Wizard Level Two
Weapons: Staff Helmets: Hat Armor: Clothes, Robe
The Time Mage Job Class is similar to other magicians, except that it excels at manipulating time. Although this is annoying in an enemy, the spells this class has available to it come in handy. The ability to cast Haste on your characters’ actions and prevent those of the enemy can be a saving grace during some of the more uneven battles. Still, you’ll want to combine this class with a more offensively oriented secondary action skill set to maximize its abilities on the battlefield.
