Could a melee Healer work?

I'd like to go the other direction and have a magic-based tank.

It was doomed to fail because it still primarily revolves around swinging a large bladed weapon.

I think PLD would be a better representative of a caster tank. A cast-time heavy tank would be a neat idea if it is also had ample instant casts to be able to reposition when needed.

As for a melee healer, you could have one in the same sense that RDM is a "melee caster". So many fights and player strategies are designed with the idea that healers are ranged jobs, so any melee skills would need to be flexible on when to use them. SGE already technically "fulfils" this niche with Phlegma being close range, it's just not exactly fulfilling like the rest of the healers.

No idea but give Chemist yoship pls ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

I would like to see mid range tank that uses long lance and sheild who uses the sun to empower their attacks

The fantasy isn't their

Dark knight should be berserk high damage attack but longer GCD low mobility

Who uses dark magic to improve their defense

It technically is a thing only in Leviathan EX under certain circumstances
