FFXI has a gil based damage dealer (ranger) and a gil based tank (ninja), so I think a gil based support/healer (chemist) would fit the balance best. The chemist would have to carry the full array of in game medicines (maybe via 99 stack bags like ninja tools), and would be able to use potions on other characters in a party. In FFIV, the bard had an ability where he could divide a single potion amongst all the players on the team at the cost of reduced effectivness. Maybe that could be the answer to a Whms' curaga? Also, the job could have job traits that enhance the effectiveness of items when used by a chemist, because for the most part, items as they are now are impractical and useless. The job would get no innate mp, much like the bard, but for some reason, I forsee whm being the only accepted sub because people like tossing /whm on anything they can. Another support class would be nice anyway. Of course, if the chemist wasn't able to heal 10x as much hp as a whm for no risk, chemists would complain that they have to pay for their cures, so it might be a hard job to balance.
