Chemist: Healing Job.

[Welsper59]

Thing is I'd actually try to heal with a class like Chemist. Concept and style are important even if the function of healing is the same. Similar to Dark Knight, how it brought some people to try tanking and maybe even start enjoying it, a job like Chemist would appeal to me and I might actually enjoy healing and try it. the Healing jobs now aren't for me.

Is it more of an RP thing that's why? In the end, as far as the gameplay goes, it would still involve the same format of healing that the other magic based healers deal with. A lot of people don't want to deal with the responsibilities involved with the healing and tank roles, even if they may dabble in it. I mean, if the concept of healer doesn't appeal to you now, the odds are rather high that it wouldn't appeal to you in the long run if your perception has not changed at all about the role in general prior.

Of course, this is assuming that any future jobs fall in-line with complexity that the current ones have now for their roles... minimal lol. It would play out pretty similar to the others, just because of a necessity to simplify to be on-par with WHM/SCH/AST. Should such a healer job ever become so complex that you are full-timing your abilities and "spells" to put out the same potency of heals as others of the role, then maybe that could be interesting. Although, that also means that you're more of a liability and outright useless compared to the other jobs.
