Future Wepons for Healers

[Asheilin]

the gems could be a nice look; scroll too actually (though when I think scroll magic my brain instantly thinks Sanzo from Saiyuki ;p which then, probably would look ridiculous.) Fan dancer as a healer could be a beautiful aesthetic Job, but then we get into the Healers who heal through damage thing... Which I love (one of the mages from RIFT, BloodMage, Mistwalker Monk from WOW [low levels] etc) but would be too much of added dps and make therefore ... Required Raid Position for the dps checks

Dolls like in Final Fantasy X would be a lot of fun for the different possible glamour's.



Advance Job: Psychic (Starts at level 30)
-Role: Healer
-Weapon: Dolls

2.) Reflect/Reflect II: Redirects one/two magical spell.
3.) Brainstorm: Inflicts confusion on the enemy causing them to attack your targets for a short duration.
4.) Water I, II, III: Deals water damage to the target. Recovers a percentage of X HP to the member with the lowest HP.

6.) Tractor: Teleports ally to your location.

I noticed a number of people are mentioning weapon ideas which are technically already in the game, but are actually used by Disciples of the Hand and Land as tools not weapons (scythes are used by BTN, as they're meant to be, hammers are used by BSM).

And I don't see a Chemist type healing class being added simply because we already technically have Chemist in the game, albeit not a healer, Alchemist (ALC), as a Disciple of the Hand, and not only would the name be confusing to determine which is which, a healer that uses items to heal would probably just be too difficult to work with (for one thing, it would suddenly create a demand for healing items and the materials needed to synthesize them, causing a massive upheaval in the economy, which is why such a job was never implemented in FFXI either).

I'm all for more healers though (and new weapon ideas for classes), but a little common sense is needed first.

Whips would be really nice. Quistis reloaded!

What you are describing are the very base.A tiny scyth and a battle scythe are different.


Same with hammers.
The alchemy part is right to a sense.


But, common sense (you have it right?) would tell you that given how this game is, chemist wouldnt use physical items but instead have an infinite supply of "items" that is made plausible by some lore reason or w/e.


Mch doesnt have ammunition afterall.

Puppets, Gems and fans (dancer) are very nice ideas. Personally I'd love the puppets one!

Lore-wise a healer weapon is primarily used to channel our healing skills but there could be exceptions like an exorcist-type of healer that usually has to face voidsents, demons and so on. I can see it wielding a very cool schyte! It could even sports a more masculine general look, not that I mind our more ethereal healers, quite the opposite, but to add some diversity is nice.

I can picture its relic looking like a big bladed cross already.

This doesn't really make sense to me, to be honest. All jobs, not just healers, are either locked to weaponskills or magic and have limited interaction/weapon action to that effect;

Think you missed my point, I'm not talking interaction with the weapon I'm talking use as a weapon. I'll clarify, people are suggesting scythe as a Mage weapon. Would you really want to see a scythe get used for nothing but auto attacks? Do you think it makes sense that a scythe would do as much damage as a book when it hits someone? because if a scythe goes to a Mage that's how it will end up, it will just be a glorified staff that will never see action as the Mage will be at range anyway. It might get some cool animations sure, but it won't be for attacks, it'll be for channeling magic or using abilities or whatever.

I would like to see this, Deuce from FF Type 0 using her flute.
