Let’s discuss Dancer

[Ayer2015]

A chakram would be cool. Like Tira from Soul Caliber

[Jonnycbad]

We don't have throwing weapons yet and there's a lot of Chakram type weapon names they could draw from.

Valkyrie
Rising Sun
Oritusuru
Conformer
Boomerang
Cardinal
Moonring Blade
Pinwheel
Shooting Star

Even if Dancer SOMEHOW ended up being a tank, what would Gunblader be? Were it to be DPS, healers would be enraged and the nuclear fallout from the healer forums exploding would cover the Classes & Jobs section for at least half a year.

I would be pissed if they somehow got the stupid idea of making Dancer a dps.
That would be a huge WTF for me.

As for weapons i do like the idea of Chakrams, we would not want to see Dancer with a Scythe, haha

To be honest I think that dancer would suit a DPS better.

TBH, my WTF is in case dance is a healer. I have no idea why someone thinks that some dance can heal.

You guys do realize this is the healer section and the thread at hand is about Dancer?
Besides most players that have wanted/want Dancer in FFXIV want it as a healer, past FF games it was able to offer some form of heals.

As for DPS, why? We have enough dps jobs until 6 or 7.0
Anyhow, this was just my opinion just like both of you that quoted me have the right to yours...

Honestly, the impression I have gotten from the various Dancer threads is that people want is a melee DPS that happens to have some healing skills

That concept is basically what I'm hoping for, or at least draws from it. Really though, just a healer Dancer would be enough.

I don't expect them to be in melee at all if they are a healer, however. It doesn't really fit in with the broader concept of a fantasy dancer, though there's certainly some wiggle room for it given FF's previous titles. The main reason is simply because of what is expected of healers in fights in this game. They stay away from the frontlines, but support the party from the middle, which does fit Dancer perfectly.

How about every previous iteration of Dancer?

[Jollyy5]

Even the wiki says they were essentially front line healers.

I can very easily visualize them being healers with some melee attacks in FFXIV.
