To everyone upset that dancer isn't a healer.

At least your favourite Job isn't limited.


I'm still sorry for you guys though.

Edit: Oh jeez gender locked race, the unholy trinity of pissing off the playebase is complete.

BLU definitely got it worse imo, but I definitely understand the disappointment with Dancer being a ranged dps. It has probably been way too long since healers were thrown a bone.

I guess it would not be limited anyhow because dps was more important in their eyes...

As someone who really wanted a new healer to go with Gunbreaker, the fact that it didn’t become a limited job still isn’t enough for me. Healers just got stabbed hard, and healer mains, understandably, are NOT taking this well at all. (Save for the occasional one who thinks that healers shouldn’t get any new jobs)

My heart completely shriveled the moment DNC was revealed as a DPS. No amount of “at least it isn’t a limited job” is going to stop the sheer amount of salt pouring out of me tonight. I realize BLU got it worst, technically, but I’m going to be very salty over here regardless.

Yes but on the bright side we have a Throwing Dagger DPS Job now.

I can only assume now 6.0 maybe where the new healer is and it better be unique and good if they held it off this long.

They added yet more classes. So much for that precious balance and identity.

The gender lock is just the icing on the cake.

Since BLU is the only one being thrown under the bus, thus far, just pray your favourite job isn't the next in line, everyone.

If you want change you're going to have to protest and demonstrate your concerns. I only wonder what the Japanese are actually thinking about this entire ordeal right now.

I am feeling bitter sweet disappointment.

I am happy with the animation, the clothing style, the fact they support the party and the job itself.
But the role? I was hoping deep in my heart for a healer, it's a shame.

Yeah that... was kinda a low blow. Astro was just SCH and WHM mash up to begin with but even counting that, you're talking four years with no new healer unless they pull a fast one and drop an additional full class in 5.0. People get tired and you /need/ people to not get tired of playing healer just as much as tank, especially with a new dps incoming. I mean guess only upside is I might see some in need bonuses for healer more often but whatever new stuff the existing ones get better be off the charts well designed and fun. I see one more reused animation in my WHM or gods forbid another stone, I'm going to scream.

I dont care that dancer isn't a healer... but no healer at all... that is just absurd after this long.

I'm actually happy that dancer is a ranged phys dps. It looks great and has elegance that can compete with rdm. I've been wanting another ranged phys dps in the game for a while now.

That isn't to say I'm happy we got no new healers. But I was concerned about the idea of adding a new healer when we got some obvious balance issues with the current three. Mainly how whm is very much in the shadow of the other two. I'd rather SE get that right first before tossing in another healer into the mix. So in one sense I'm relieved, but in another I'm a tad disappointed.

If I wasn't so in love with sch I would be very disappointed.

Most of my salt is being tossed on the confirmed gender locking on races but that's another conversation altogether.
