Healer Idea: Plague Doctor

People have been begging for a darker healer. How about a plague doctor?

They could wield a scent device in one hand, filled with incense, and some sort of another weapon in the other hand. Perhaps a single dagger, or a sigil.

Would use herbs, aromatherapy, and focus on cleansing the disease and impurities out of their allies.

For combat, they would be ruthless in their poisons, and concoctions that would be breathed in the very air, and coated onto their tools.

There wouldn’t be potion mixing like chemist. It would be more of a ritualistic healer.

What do you mean? SCH is an angel-themed healer. Just look at Seraph and Seraphism. ଘ(੭ˊᵕˋ)੭

Meh. Personally, I'm kinda tired of the plague doctor archetype. It's pretty common and not particularly interesting beyond the mask.

Breaking News: OP invents Stormblood Scholar.

I clicked on this thread hoping it was a jab at CBU3 for completely gutting the SCH job fantasy. Poor thing has been dismantled so badly people don't even realize we used to have a plague doctor.

SCH use to back in the day, when all the healers had their own version of Esuna called Leeches. (☛´∀｀*)☛

And it was a level 40 action. The horror doing Brayflox normal runs without it. :D

To make matters worse, the tank is a PLD.

Yeah! It was great. I miss Leeches. From a time when Lustrate was a % heal. I miss Scholar's identity...

Healing as a role needs to be fixed; we don't need new healer skins. On top of that, it doesn't really seem to fit the FFXIV aesthetic.

Sorry but it's sort of hilarious how gutting healers has come full circle in this post.
