Should there be another healing job?

[toddx77]

I have been leveling Rouge and at 27 have only done 2 dungeons with it. All my other leveling has been from FATEs and Guildleves because it takes almost an hour to be placed in a party. With Conj being the only healer pre 30 that leaves only one healer until SCH is available or a high level SCH does a low level dungeon. With Dark Knight being added in the expansion or possibly more jobs shouldn't another healer be added to balance things out?

Yes there should be more healers and yes there will be more in 3.0

I wouldn't mind seeing a Chemist job that heals/buffs/debuffs by throwing items later on. The class could be called Concoctionist or something like that.

Apothecary would have a better ring to it, even if neither sounds particularly battle-oriented.

In any case we'll probably never see a truly item-dependent Job. The only way it would work is with flavor text; Yoshi won't go for consumables.

It doesn't have to be consumable. After all archers don't use up arrows and ninjas don't use up shurikens. It's all in the name.

Hence what I said about flavor text.

Ah, sorry. Missed that part.

There should be more of everything except DPS. There's a bunch of DPS classes already, but only two healers and two tanks. There's going to be dark knights so tanks will have 3 classes, but that still leaves healers with only two.

Preeeeetty sure I heard somewhere in the convoluted mess of previous Letters and Interviews that a tank (Dark Knight) and healer (???) role were scheduled to be released in the expansion.

I heard it was dark knight and some class with guns.
