Can we PLEASE get Achievement Mounts for Healers

The reason healers haven't been given achievement mounts as it's usually tanks that are in demand not healers because of the extra responsibility tanks have to play in a party, usually we're the party's leader and dicate the flow of battle, in addition to having to DPS and keep the enemy's focus on us instead of you the healer keeping us and the rest of the party alive. Players thus prefer to queue as other roles (usually DPS) where they can sit back and let someone else take that responsibility.

I'm sorry if I'm sounding narky but if a player really needs to be given a carrot for healing in the form of special mounts, then it's maybe time to choose another career path in the game as that kind of goes against the whole idea of a healer being selfless and putting their party's wellbeing before their own if they need to be given special rewards for doing so (of course, great if recognition for your effort is given, but I don't see it happening).

In case you're talking seriously and this is not a troll post.

1-Since the start of Shb Healers are even more on demand than tanks, partially because how bad the role is right now and because like as the tanks they're precived by casuals as a "high resposibility" role.

2-Tanks are not leaders nor have extra responsibility, everyone dictates the pace of the battle since everyone has to fill a role, a tank can't do decent pulls without a healer to keep them alive, a healer can't do decent pulls without a tank to take the aggro and both would run out of resources and die if the DPS don't do their job, is the party performance that dictates how the battle goes not a Tank and usually tanks that think they are more important are the kind who say "You pull it you tank it", or in other words, bad tanks.

3-Healer also contribute to DPS and mitgation while keeping the party alive, we are not only limited to do one of those things otherwise we would be bad at our job, in fact I'd say that if we take the flawed "high reposibility" mentality healers would be the ones with the highest since they are the ones who enable the run to go, keep everyone alive and pay for everyone else's mistakes.

4-By your own logic Tanks shoudn't have any mount since by definition they are also a selfless role yet they have them.

If it's a question of resources I don't understand how they had the time to add a fourth Tank with two new mounts on release and redo the entire Tanking Paradigm but healers just had all their skills cut and renamed in the pursuit of Balance? The fact that we haven't got a new healer and only get to use less abilities seems like a reason why mounts would be MORE likely. They have no problem throwing new things for us to buy on MogStation every three months but we can't get a Healer Achievement mount after 6 years? You're telling me Blue Mage was somehow the priority there... I would like them to just say they don't like healers and be done with it. We are obviously last on the list for major overhauls and fine tuning every expansion.

While i do want a healer mount adding it now it's not a good idea, at least in my server there's still lacking of tank and weirdly in extreme there's more healer overflow than dps, so making people play more healer right now is a bad bad idea for queu time.

You can remove the stone and you are CNJ.. I missed this quest but able to take it with stone remove trick. Buy a level 1-29 weapon wear it and remove soul stone it will bring you back to CNJ state

About topic.. I think its best to encourage new tanks.. seems more demanded than healers.. add extra mount to each tank.. and make it 3 total lol :3

Unless it's relic-type, of course.

There's nothing selfless about healing, I'm just fulfilling a role in the MMO. End of. Healers are just as in demand as tanks are, so by all rights, they should have class mounts.

Back to the topic, I agree healers are also in demand and to be honest on my server right now they're way more in demand than tanks.
Hell, I have a really hard time gettign adventurer in need bonus as tank, and in my FC it's hard sometimes to group cause most want to tank.
So yeah, probably a mount would be a good idea to motivate, although it would kinda sadden me since I mained healer for years and got nothing from it, and just recently quit healing, and the backlog doesn't count. I wouldn't care much if they're mounts as ugly as the tank ones, but the ones proposed here seem absolutely cool.

I would prefer if Healers and DPS got achivements mounts as well and to keep to the theming set by the PVP gear like the Tank ones apprenlty are. In that vein I'd like to see a reskinned direwolk for BLM, Elks for SMN and SCH, Owls for AST, Swans for WHM, etc.

I never even realized the mounts had themes that corresponded to the PVP sets for each Job. That literally blew my mind. I would be head over heels for an Owl Mount, especially since they are heavily associated with Books and Witches. I wouldn't be mad if every Job got a mount either. I'm all for it. It's just weird Tanks are the only ones to get so much love.
