What do you think about using Flintlock+Item Shooter concepts for new healer?
Disciplines - Magic
Weapon - Magic Cannon
Gear Sets - Healing (MND-Based)
Because of Disciplines and Armoury System in FFXIV, It's hard to develop Chemist to be gun-using healer as DoW. For example, Chemist/Alchemist look like DoH more than DoW in FFXIV. Healing Potency based on MND but only DoM gear have it. I think we don't need more gear type, Right? Moreover, Machinist is already using Gun in 3.0.
I think if we adapt concept from Flintlock (Tactics A2) + Item Shooter (JP name of X-2 Alchemist), We can create DoM who can use Magic cannon for healing and have Mixing actions for Buff/Debuff.
Example Actions
Ballistics - Basic Heal/Attack actions, consume MP for launching magic cannon.- Cure Cannon - Main single target heal.
