Idea for new healer class.

[DenverBroncos]

Chemist
30 Alchemist / 15 Conjurer.
Weapon:
MH: Vial OH: Backpack with a baby Kobold sticking out the top with a vile in each hand.

Chemist will be proficent in heal-over-time, HoT that also has an initial heal (Think of Circle of Scorn, but a heal that is not a PBAoE), and a few modest single target heals.

The Chemist will be unique because depending on the heal spell a special buff will be placed on that party member(s) such as, but not limited to HoT + dmg buff, HoT + Dmg reduction, HoT+Initial Heal+dodge/parry/block buff, AoE HoT + get more limit break bar refill per auto attack etc.

Chemist will have a few single target modest big heals so they can still be competitive with the other two healer, but will not excel in the proactive dmg reduction healing of SCH or the AoE and burst single target heals of a WHM, and will not compromise the position of the buffs Bards bring to the group.

This may sound stupid, if so, I apologize just an idea because having two tanks and two heals and more dps is only going to support the 30+ min queue in DF.

Your idea does NOT sound stupid. Chemist NEEDS something that makes it stand out(in a good way) among the rest. When i played Dc universe the healer powers that they added wasn’t better than the ones they already started with. So good idea just think of more powers, traits and job powers to go with it.

I would level this class/job just to have the little backpack monkey!

No, I don't want to play Singed in FFXIV.

But don't Chemist use potions ? It's not a bad idea but, I don't know, it feels weird.

I think Chemist would make an awesome new job, they did exist in a few older FF (FFT comes to mind), and they could work around tossing items party-wide, and they could have items only their class has access to, making it a very versatile class, as in half healer half buffer for great effect.

It could also make some dangerous mixes, such as venoms and acids to toss around and tag mobs.

And probably its more important skill would be something called Salve, where you could use 1 item (they could introduce newer healing/buffing items into the game), party wide, with a moderate cooldown to offset the possible OPness, depending on the item used.

It could very much restore MP also to single targets. All of these balanced of course.

I likie!!

Some good additional ideas too for Chemist. I think we need more Support style jobs like this. Make it so things can be done without them, but with them; the party effin rocks!!

You require a crafting class at L30 to start a combat class? I don't understand this.

it is new and fresh... and simply why not? it makes perfect sense... how about swap it so that the crafting class needs to be lv.15??? that better?
