What Healer jobs would you like to see added in the future?

I think a healer that used TP to heal would be interesting.

Dancer (TP based?)
Chemist (TP based?)
Devout/Shaman

I'll bet we get a contest for Goads if we get a TP based healer :) But the idea does strike me as interesting. Performing a Rain Dance to summon a healing rain shower maybe? Sounds good.

I would love to see a TP based healer such as Dancer, though I think it might either be extremely difficult to balance with the way the game is designed.

The TP based healer would be extremely over powered if the TP costs are light and basically between Goad / Paeon / native TP regen gives them infinite heals.

Or it would be underwhelming if the TP costs are too high and there isn't a good means to maintain high TP, especially in long fights.

Still, the idea has interested me since I began brain storming ideas on how to integrate DNC from XI into XIV.

Hmm. In TSW, I had a lot of fun with rifle-based healing (shoot enemy; damage done is "leeched" as healing to your defensive target). Unfortunately I don't think it's very feasible in FFXIV. From a pragmatic standpoint, in FFXIV you can only target one thing at once and I don't see that changing (and workarounds would be subject to lag and awkward). From more of a concept standpoint... their heals would need to be pretty weak in comparison or no one would want to take a pure healer, but weak heals would then mean they would be excluded from certain content.

But, if somehow it could be implemented and balanced properly, it could be pretty fun.

Dancer as a TP/combo healer would be interesting I could see them building flourishes with their combos, and using the flourishes for support/heals. However I think they need ways of using heals outside of melee, perhaps channeled dances how bards channels songs but you wouldn't be able to act while channeling.

I only want this for the FFIII robe, too bad it will probably never happen since holy is a devout skill and we already have it.

You already mentioned what I want to see as a new healer down the road. :p (Bolded)

Chemist would be interesting too though.

I could see chemist being a mix of tp and mp actually.
His mp could be use for regular heals where he draws ather to form a concoction which he uses to heal his team or buff them.

For TP he could use actual potions and ether and do things like boost them to have a higher effect on one target, spread them so they are used on everyone, or combine them so they have mixed effects with the limitation of excluding elixirs and limited to party use. Otherwise you get a healer with an aoe paralyze or silence bomb.

Actually, now that I mention that, it sounds kind of fun but would probably too op. This would boost sales on HQ potions to be sure though.

Guns and Heals are all I need :3

I would really like to see DNC again.
Shaman
Songstress/BRD Type Healer. Where dd abilities heal pt members. I think would be interesting. lol

Definitely on board with the Dancer train, especially if done interestingly. Maybe Shrine Maiden/Priest too.
