Leech Healing Ideas

Hey Guys,

With all the speculation of the "Gun Class" being a healer I was wondering what your thoughts on "Leech Healing" would be.

The Secret World has three healing specs. Claws focusing on HOTS and big heals (WHM). Blood Healing focused on Shields (SCH). The third healing option is Assault Rifle which heals based on damage dealt.

In Rift the mage soul Chloromancer and the cleric soul Defiler also use the Leach Healing mechanic. Deal damage to Heal your companions.

These classes tend to require more out of your Party. They have only a few regular heal spells, generally with cool downs, so they can not spam heals. If your party stands in stuff they shouldn't be gg.

The big advantage to the leach healing style is added dps and sustained healing potential. Alot of fun imo too.

How do you guys feel this game style would fit into FF14? Would you like this style of healing over "heal bullets"? What kind of advantages and disadvantages can you see leech style healing having in FF14? If it was an "advanced skill" class interest you?
