Pretty sure you may have misread/heard someone.

Yoshi-P has said in the past that when deciding on the tank role for Heavensward, they were torn between making it a Dark Knight or a Samurai. They eventually opted to make it the Dark Knight for Heavensward.

Video from PAX East 2015 speaking to tank role design decision.

This doesn't mean they will be releasing Samurai in the future and this also doesn't mean if they do release Samurai it'll be a tank role, but it was considered to be a tank role at one point in time when deciding the jobs for Heavensward.

There is a necromancer in the ff series; however it doesn't have a clear identity it could be a DPS healer in this game. I would love 1.0 sacrifice to be there main cure it was interesting.

But...but all healers must wear white. It's a rule.

:P

I guess I must be a confused Au'Ra then.. Wearing black for my healing outfits and white when playing Summoner

Other than AST, DRK has my favorite aesthetic, so I would love this.

necro healer could work for a "dark healer" aesthetic type

WHM has core staple heal, SCH has fairy, AST has card, i say maybe NCR has skill than can boost your heal or even change how the heal work by using portion of his/her own HP?

basically high risk high reward healer playstyle

[Zomy]

It wouldn't be dark themed but I would love SE to add Chemist as a healer. You could use stacking buffs and mix them to make potions to heal with (or dps with lethal combinations!) Just imagine being a mad scientist and laughing maniacally as you throw potions and friend and foe alike!

Remember the old version of Arcanists "sustain" that would sacrifice some of their own HP to heal their pets? I don't remember their reasoning for changing that skill but maybe it's because they planned to release a healer with self-sacrifice in mind and wanted that gameplay to be exclusive to said healer.

Or it could be the opposite and they're really against healers hurting themselves to heal others.
