NEW HEALER FOR 5.0

I will probably give up on healing too, not playing another expansion without a new job. I will of course level them later, and will start with the gunbreaker. The queue time will be fun, with a lot of healers leaving that role because of that stupid choice from SE...

Counterpoint:

The English stream said "The two new jobs for Shadowbringers are gunbreaker and dancer!"

They're professional translators/localization, so I don't think it's that likely they mistranslated.

I have hopes for the hammer they were teasing, but ultimately I'm just rather disappointed all things considered. Healer balance has always been an issue with this game, but even when they had a whole expansion to fix it they just kept on making it worse in new and absurd ways. It's to the point I don't care about the balance anymore and just want a new class to play with. If they're already incapable of balance might as well bring something fun to the table. I also don't think that they'll manage to fix the balance in time for 6.0 if they are still having issues with it this far into the game.

Yoshi P did say that whoever was in the development of Gaia was unsure where they wanted to go with it. When he hears the news he would announce it - so here's hoping it will fall on us like Ninja did and be a patch added healer.

If they are to make an annoucement later for the healer, it's again a really bad choice from them. From what I've read on the internet so far, I'm not alone to be pissed of the no new healing job. And I was really expecting one, after 4 years since the last heal. And not a single words for the healers. When Stormblood came out, they did said there is no new heal/tank for the supposed job balance, so fine, but if you make a 4th tank, you also need a 4th healer. There is already lots of choice for DPS, it's just not fair to heal. So the fact that there was no new healer job and not a single word for us to explain why there is no new heal, well, it just ruined the key note for everything that came after. So basicly, they just ruined the day for many people and announcing it later - and I doubt that they will - won't change anything.

They will add new healer in mid patch 5.4

They aren't going to complete a new job in three months and if they tried it would almost certainly turn out a mess. While I am very disappointed with the lack of a new healer job, I wouldn't want to see them half ass it just to rush one out the door.

At this rate I wouldn't assume there is gonna be a new healer in 6.0 either. Maybe 2 new dps. :rolleyes:

I'm not gonna lie: if there's no new healer I'm not going to unsub or do a healer strike to "stick it to the man" or something like that. But I am nonetheless extremely disappointed that there's no new healer. There will definitely be some new healer info at Fanfest since there will be a lot of media interviews, and I'm sure the question will be asked. But even if they do have new healer info, not putting any info in the opening keynote is just... baffling. Why kill the hype for those wanting a new healer? If the dps dancer reveal was delayed it would be a plus since no one was really expecting a new dps, but literally everyone was expecting new healer. Anyway I'm looking forward to ShB but my hype needs time to recover. Hopefully the new spells reveal in May will do something for WHM.

I don't think adding heals is so difficult that it's impossible.

Make Dancer a Healer. Im not kidding. Change it to a healer.

We do not need another DPS.
