O.K. having taken the time(and quite happily I might add) to watch the O.P.s mentions of the new anime "log Horizon" I see exactly where they are going with this class Idea, and it would be an amazing class that I would hit up in an instant!Â
The class as it appears in the anime:
Title: Strategist (ok maybe not exactly, but that's the role)
Role: pure support
Skills: tactics, skills that bind the foe, Skills at add dmg from others in the party(example being the vines that when struck deal extra damage to to enemy)
Skills I would recommend but haven't been in the show: regen hp/mp, some type of Libra skill(perhaps increase party crit rates? up element vulnerability based on the info obtained?) small sap style spell for direct dmg.
I think this is the style of support that the O.P. had in mind.
I would like to see some style of strategist class that is based around knowing the enemies weakness and useing them to the parties advantage, also I would say that they could buff the party against specific damage(facing a fire sprite? up fire element resistance, faceing sword wielders? use slash resistance) and I would say that they would fill a DPS role in smaller(4 man) dungeons and in 8-24 man their JOB could fill a healer/dps role.
basically I'm looking for the description promised by SCH but was never delivered. "Though the history of that age tells of countless wars waged with earth-shattering incantations, it was the brilliant strategic
maneuvering of Nym's scholars that allowed their mundane army of mariners to throw back would-be conquerers time and again."
