[New Class Idea!] Dark Healer!!!

I know I know why am I posting this here? Cuz I have nowhere to display it, and well I want to say it. The new class should be a Dark Healer!!:D:D:D:):):) Don't ask how cuz there many ideas for that but I just hope there be a new healer class next time and if so they should do a Dark Healer class :D I personally this that'll be amazing

Helluuu i like the title :D

I am almost willing to bet my left arm a Healer will be one of the new classes added, non-limited. Though as for healing the only thing we are really missing is a healer who heals by sharing the blood of enemies :3

could be like some kinda blood mage, uses a ceremonial dagger to slice open their hand, seeing a blood trail pool over towards an ally

Because everyone just loves being covered in some else's blood...

And that ended so well for him.

it did
new weapon and achieved his goal

Blood mage, necromancer, shaman type healer... Something. The current healer jobs look so boring on paper, I'm dreading the point where I decide to level one.

The original Thaumaturge was kind of like this.

Dark is has been and dark in ShB isn't evil.

I feel like a necromancer would be fitting, or a blood mage XD

I'd like something like the Necromancer from Everquest, they had DD and DOT spells to leech life from enemies and skills to transfer their health to allies. They were meant to be a DPS class, but if you couldn't fine a healer they were able to fill that role surprisingly well.

I still wish for a healer that wasn't magic-based.
That is, of course, a pipe dream now.

If you disregard the whole "possessed by a genocidal dragon" part.

Sort of related but I had tried to throw some dark healer concepts together: here . I thought an eldritch / mind flayer / love craft healer could be quite fun, and had the idea of a chain whip with a bell on the handle end. So you've got some physical / magical imbued attacks, and can also echo an otherworldly bell for more dark theme'd magic.

I thought it could be a fun opportunity to include a horror theme'd job quest set, like Edna but non-stop (nearly) lol. Something the game hasn't really had the chance to play too much with (or most MMORPGs for that matter).

Also felt it was a good opportunity to perhaps make this job more aggressive with some twists on heals (curses that prevent damage from the source), and some other ideas (listed in). It's sort of a big bag of stuff.. stick your hand in and maybe find something interesting.. or bad lol.

Could be fun. Also read some neat ideas with chemist and stuff though. If I only had one job I get to coax SE to make though It would have to be a transformation job.

Necromancers are just healers with timing issues.

Personally though, if we're to get another healer, I'd like it to not be a mage at all... Main reason I wanted Dancer to be a healer was because it would be visually different to have a physical ranged/melee healer, rather than another caster healer...

Ha, that’s because he never got the job crystal for it and was never trained!

100% my reason, too.
I think it would've been really interesting to see how they would've made a job like that be a healer.

Not many of the traditional jobs fit into this dark healer paradigm.

Darkness is used by Darknights and Blackmages almost exclusively.

In Final fantasy the Dark element is supposed to be an Astral element, something that foments growth in an entropic way, twisting life in an horrific way. I can't really see it as a healing force.

Arcanists use Arcanima to create living facsimiles which is already pretty close to necromancy itself. I mean they produce artificial life out of aether.

What we are truly missing is a magitek/artificer kind of healer. A job that doesn't use spells to heal but rather tech to do so. Like a proper doctor.

Something like a blood mage or necromancer could be neat, or perhaps something to do with the void - I'm more about the aesthetics to be honest, I'd like a healer that isn't as bright and shiny as the current options, something to fit better alongside my DRK and BLM.

I immediately thought of Warhammer: Age of Reckoning's "Disciple of Kaine". It was an experiment with a "melee" healer who built blood gauge by engaging in melee combat then expended that gauge with heals. They did something similar with on the other side of the faction war with the War Priest as well. Was an interesting concept that I haven't seen explored enough.

So many healers spend time on the back line, it would be nice more of them on the front lines again.

I would prefer a Necromancer or a Dark Puppetmaster class far more than a chemist type healer. Something with a creepy vibe to it and a story as good as the DRK quests.

Never been a fan of necromancy used for healing. I'd rather have it either as tank or dps. It's not here to save your life. It's here to make a mockery of it by killing people, then animating their corpses. The soul energies should ve used to curse their target with blight. The only sort of healing that should go on is self healing in the form or regenerating disposable flesh with more disposable flesh, something that can only be done if the necromancer's body is altered to intake that disposable flesh for him/herself. If it's tanking, it'll shield it's allies with literal bodies. If it's dpsing, it's not here to save anyone else's life but it's own.

Heal via microtransactions, truly the most evil of jobs.

Not only that but Necromancy is extremely frowned upon on Eorzea. Necromancy healer might be a novel concept but it doesn't fit well with what a healer does.

I'd go for a battle medic approach if you want something edgier than a white mage. Battle-hardened doctors that treat wounds in the midst of combat.

Go tough and hardy rather than goth.

Necrotic healer is something I've wanted in the game for a while! I play one in a (final fantasy related) DnD campaign, and it's extremely fun. The mechanics for it are all really unique and creative.

Realistically though I have a feeling they'll go for something tech-y or something more realistic like a combat medic or chemist. I'm the kind of person who loves mage healers, so I'll still hold out for a necrotic healer, but I sadly doubt it will ever come to life.

I love most of yall comment >^< I'm thinking if I should post the same thing every 2 months

i just start geting into dnd, it's fun! but still gonna hard for me cuz well i don't speak as much cuz i don't know what to say with other, oh well my character at least

Just need the Sage job added. In other FF games it can use the full list of white magic and Black magic spells. That way our healers can have an actual rotation like blm, but part of that rotation will include heals. So it can literally heal and dps at the same time.
