I am going to favor DNC on the potential aesthetics alone. I know many players don't want another dainty, fragile, stereotypical healer. I am on the opposite side of the spectrum. I want an even more ultra feminine, extremely elegant and graceful healer. Like BRDs, they can have a perform action that would have them showing their graceful steps in cities all over the map. I wonder what exactly can a chemist bring to the table other than just being another healer? I would place a very generous wager that if DNC is introduced, they will get some kind of perform action as well.

From a gameplay/mechanics perspective, I still favor DNC. I am only one person of course and innovation is not one of my strengths, but the way I envision chemist being played won't offer much diversity over our current healers. Perhaps it would be better for me to say that I feel like Dancer can bring more to the table when it comes to opening up the healing role to a different playstyle. I think the road is well paved for a healer/melee hybrid.
