Honestly I feel DPS players need to get out of their bubble and be enticed to try the healer and tanking roles. And by adding popular jobs to these roles it helps. Now, about Square Enix being afraid to do anything unique with their healers or tank perhaps that's true, but eventually they will have to try something new since they cannot continue to copy and paste healer or tank jobs or they will just end up alienating their tank and healer players causing even a bigger problem.
    Not remotely.

    I said, in no vague terms, that I don't think it belongs, ideally, as just another DPS; but, given the present climate of XIV class design, I do believe that for now the supportive DPS template offers slightly more freedom in design and better affinity for the different aspects of the gameplay available a Dancer. I want to see that climate change so it doesn't have to be, but I'd much sooner "deal with" an adapted DPS Dancer than an adapted Healer Dancer as things are currently -- e.g. in the "change (is necessary, but) will never happen anyways" community view.

    If I may pose a similar question -- but without purposely misconstruing your post -- what exactly is "dancing?" "Dancing as much as possible" could be covered in as little as a differed idle animation whilst casting <ST Heal Mostly Unused>, <ST Heal Expensive>, <AoE Heal>, <Ability ST Heal>, <Ability AoE Heal> in the same way the other three do. To you, what makes dancing, "dancing"? I feel like we probably have very different minimum benchmarks.
