Elementalist (Tactics A2)



The Elementalist (or Shaman in some translations) Job class is available to Viera in Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift. They are similar to Red Mages, since they equip rapiers and use the elements to damage and inflict status ailments on the foes or heal party members. However, they can only target one foe or party member at time with their magic, with the exception of White Flame. Elementalists' strength is higher than most mage classes, so they will not be heavily weakened when silenced. The Elementalist has taken quite a blow since she no longer has Elemental Shift, which changes the target's weakness and resistances to a certain element randomly. They have average HP, MP, and Speed, strong Magic, but low Defense and also Resistance, surprisingly. One of the Gifted, Ljda, is an Elementalist who teaches the skill that is named after her, it charms foes both monsters and races, as Ljda's gift is having monsters obey her whim.

It appears that the Elementalist uses the more traditional "five elements" system, with her abilities embodying earth, fire, wind, water, and the fifth element of spirit/aether (in this case dealing Dark damage). Ice is excluded because it's just another state of water, and Holy may have just been a toss-up between it and Dark.
