Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes.
Dancer was my main in FFXI, and I absolutely loved it. The DPS-healer hybrid was amazing and extremely fun. It would become my new main over WHM in an instant if it functioned even remotely similar to how it did in XI.
Make them a melee DPS support class with the same damage as a PLD but have their buffs add enough damage to everyone else to make the numbers even out with a normal DPS class. Or a little less since they would be doing other stuff like heals and such, either way if they heal a bit the healers can toss some damaging skills in. So all and all it even outs.
I've never played XI, but this job sounds really fun and interesting. If this job is added, I would totally level it up to 50 and play as a dancer.
Dancer was one of my favorite jobs in FFXI hands down. being a Monk/Dancer or Thief/Dancer especially. All for that heal debuff you would put on enemies so that each time the enemy was struck the attacker would be healed. Since monks hit twice in an attack they'd get healed twice as often and Thiefs would attack so quickly that it was super beneficial for them as well. If they add Dancer to FFXIV I will play it for sure. If it were anything like it was in FFXI it would become my main for sure.
Seems like Dancer could easily be taken from Pugilist job. Just add Fists of Water for Healing, and some other element for other Dancer effects.
Dancer was the most fun job I played in FFXI, so yes, I would absolutely try it if it was in FFXIV.
Oh myyy

class : theif -> job dancer lol
I think if anything it would be a class that leads into thief and dancer. Thief would be the dps job, dancer would (hopefully) be a healer. I get that it isn't normally seen as a main healer and would probably end up as a dps support like bard, but I'm tired of the typical mmo healer where they're mages. I'd love to have a melee healer for a change.
