Honnestly SE, we don't need any new DPS any time soon. Make a new healer already. You skipped us on SB, ok, we can survive 1 expansion. You skip us again? I just lost interest at that moment for the expansion. And looking at the forum, I'm not alone. So, you have 3 months, make a new healing job already.

Sorry to say, but that isn't going to happen.

The FanFest isn't over yet, can't you people just wait as for all that we know tomorrow a new healer could be revealed.

That Gaia prop has a hammer and Geomancer was mentioned in the AST story, so maybe we'll get that as a healer.

All signs point to probably not going to happen

Well, if they don't want healers, then I'll drop my main and start as DPS main...

I mean...to be fair.
Ranged Physical Dps only had 2 jobs to pick from or should I say just one because nobody plays mch. -

GEO is still very much on the table.
They went out of their way to not mention healers even once so I have a feeling we'll get a little surprise on that front. Either when they give us more details on the battle system revamp or as a mid-expansion job like ROG. -
03-23-2019, 12:31 PMAlliciaCapulet
I will probably give up on healing too, not playing another expansion without a new job. I will of course level them later, and will start with the gunbreaker. The queue time will be fun, with a lot of healers leaving that role because of that stupid choice from SE...

They're professional translators/localization, so I don't think it's that likely they mistranslated. -

I have hopes for the hammer they were teasing, but ultimately I'm just rather disappointed all things considered. Healer balance has always been an issue with this game, but even when they had a whole expansion to fix it they just kept on making it worse in new and absurd ways. It's to the point I don't care about the balance anymore and just want a new class to play with. If they're already incapable of balance might as well bring something fun to the table. I also don't think that they'll manage to fix the balance in time for 6.0 if they are still having issues with it this far into the game.

03-23-2019, 12:35 PMMirakumiYoshi P did say that whoever was in the development of Gaia was unsure where they wanted to go with it. When he hears the news he would announce it - so here's hoping it will fall on us like Ninja did and be a patch added healer.Quote:

If they are to make an annoucement later for the healer, it's again a really bad choice from them. From what I've read on the internet so far, I'm not alone to be pissed of the no new healing job. And I was really expecting one, after 4 years since the last heal. And not a single words for the healers. When Stormblood came out, they did said there is no new heal/tank for the supposed job balance, so fine, but if you make a 4th tank, you also need a 4th healer. There is already lots of choice for DPS, it's just not fair to heal. So the fact that there was no new healer job and not a single word for us to explain why there is no new heal, well, it just ruined the key note for everything that came after. So basicly, they just ruined the day for many people and announcing it later - and I doubt that they will - won't change anything.

They will add new healer in mid patch 5.4
-
03-23-2019, 01:04 PMBelhi
They aren't going to complete a new job in three months and if they tried it would almost certainly turn out a mess. While I am very disappointed with the lack of a new healer job, I wouldn't want to see them half ass it just to rush one out the door.

At this rate I wouldn't assume there is gonna be a new healer in 6.0 either. Maybe 2 new dps. :rolleyes:
-

I'm not gonna lie: if there's no new healer I'm not going to unsub or do a healer strike to "stick it to the man" or something like that. But I am nonetheless extremely disappointed that there's no new healer. There will definitely be some new healer info at Fanfest since there will be a lot of media interviews, and I'm sure the question will be asked. But even if they do have new healer info, not putting any info in the opening keynote is just... baffling. Why kill the hype for those wanting a new healer? If the dps dancer reveal was delayed it would be a plus since no one was really expecting a new dps, but literally everyone was expecting new healer. Anyway I'm looking forward to ShB but my hype needs time to recover. Hopefully the new spells reveal in May will do something for WHM.
I don't think adding heals is so difficult that it's impossible. -

Make Dancer a Healer. Im not kidding. Change it to a healer.
We do not need another DPS. -
03-23-2019, 01:12 PMVanitas
He made an odd hint towards gaia's hammer during the eden reveal and people are thinking geomancer so maybe we'll get that healer after all.
-

Well, when they were talking about the Minfilia Trust, they didn't mention her job. Either she is a Dancer (because they were talking about this before the Dancer announcement) or she is an unannounced healer job. Just a wild guess.
-
03-23-2019, 01:14 PMKhalitharFour job sharing aiming accessories, three jobs sharing aiming gear now. Sure there are four jobs sharing fending gear in the xpac but there is always more dps than tanks in groups. I actually expected (after seeing the dancer in the trailer) that it was going to be a melee and share gear with ninja.Quote:

If there are only two jobs, I can kinda understand their reasoning. Healers and Tanks are the hardest jobs to balance when introduced to existing ones. So it would kinda make sense to do a tank/dps set for this expansion, then healer/dps for next expansion (gives them more time to work out balance).
Sucks for people looking for a new healer though. Here's hoping there's a surprise announcement of healer based on the shirt Yoshida was wearing (Said "B yourself, B beautiful" and then had something about haircuts at the bottom). -
03-23-2019, 01:16 PMDuskane
expect healer + dps in 6.0
-
03-23-2019, 01:16 PMAlliciaCapuletIf there was a 4th fan festival, I would believe that, but I don't see why they'll do that kind of annoucement outside the keynote of a fan fest..Quote:

So they could spend their time getting the balance right on ONE or the other, or they could try to split their concentration and do a shitty job on both. That is something SE have said themselves with SB came out.Quote:

SB is living proof that even with no new healer added the development team is patently incapable of balancing the healer roles ever since AST was thrown into the mix. They either need to bring in outside help or abandon any pretext of balance at this point.Quote:

Dancer makes more sense as a ranged dps imo. Not too disappointed with that. would've been nice to get another healer though. If we don't get a new healer in the following expansion then chances are we never will.

03-23-2019, 01:23 PMkijukittenwait what? there were only 2 jobs added? are you counting blu? because blu doesnt count, its not a dps its a limited jobQuote:

I've been patient and we get more dps? -
03-23-2019, 01:30 PMArtieTiger
Yeah, we need more healers... where is Geomancer
-
03-23-2019, 01:32 PMEaMettWell I can't speak for the gunbreaker class but dancer has always been a support/buff kind of class. Ranged DPS hits the mark. Sure healer could've worked too but somehow this one just feels right. Still sucks we don't have a new healer announced yetQuote:
