No New Healer Job In Stormblood?

This is provocatory.
Do you think we are gonna get a new healer job? Or we only have red mage and samurai?
I would have loved a blue mage healer or a dancer. What do you think about it? Let's talk about the future of healer roles in Stormblood.

I really hope to see a new healer class. I think they learned how to properly implement a new healer after all the Astrologian problems, and a new Healer class can make DF so much easier to deal in the release days...

I sincerely doubt it. We're likely to only see two DPS. If they do deviate from that, I wager the second job is a tank. They still haven't figured out healer (or tank) balance. So I'd rather they focus on that first, personally.

Then I'd rather have just one DPS job added. 2 DPS will break the DF queue for months.

As much as I'd personally like to see Dancer released as a healer, I'd rather S-E not release any future healers until they figure out healer balance and identity. The way they handled AST in the 3.X series has left a bad taste in my mouth and I have little confidence that they know what to do with healer's and I'd rather see if they can work out healer balance and identity in 4.X before they release a new healer.

We most likely will see a new one just to have that checkbox checked but i wish they improved the current 3 instead.
I hope they learned from Astrologian and just improve the toolkit of the existing healers.

With new class, come new max lvl with new skills i guess, personnaly, i'm goin to focus on my SMN and his new tools, then i ll see if the new jobs offers me more sensation than my actual main to maybe swap to it !

I really hope we don't get one.

I mean, seriously. The balance between our existing healers and their identities is so skewed it's a shame. WHM is severely lacking in both raid value and identity, AST is a monstrosity that can somehow heals as good as WHM and SCH while also offering stupidly strong support, and SCH is monopolizing the off healer role and doesn't seem to be budging until a leash is put on their fairy.

I'd much rather them focus on the current healers right now and not just dump a 4th one into this mess.

I really don't know. If RDM was a Tank I'd say you got a chance, but it's looking like Tank and/or DPS only.

The expansion will start with 2 jobs but they might add a third in the coming patches.
An example would be NIN, it was added in 2.4

Team already said realsing 3 new jobs require lots of work and effort. The dev team is actually very small, much smaller than you would expect.
