Synergist (SYN) is the role of a buffer in Final Fantasy XIII. It doesn't have a direct model in previous Final Fantasies, although Green Mage and Time Mage have some similarities, as well as the buffing side of White Mage.
Below, you can find several specifics of this role.
Role Bonus
Sentinels have the role bonus "Extended Enhancements". This increases the duration of enhancements and debuffs cast by both themselves and, to a lesser degree, their allies. The bonus increases with the Synergist's role level.
Role Level 1: Self: 1.20x, Allies: 1.05x
Role Level 2: Self: 1.35x, Allies: 1.05x
Role Level 3: Self: 1.50x, Allies: 1.10x
Role Level 4: Self: 1.65x, Allies: 1.10x
Role Level 5: Self: 1.80x, Allies: 1.15x
