DANCER IS A DPS?

[Raylazer11]

Seriously it makes complete sense in terms of what the job really is. But that means we are going without a new healer!
Its doubtful they\\'ll add a new job anytime soon after this and to me this is heartbreaking.

Looks like Geomancer will be a thing one day for healers after all. (As said by Astro Quest)

Edit:
Looking back at my posts, I knew it was a DPS RNG lol

Please let heal fresh wounds first. Square creates with the anouncement opposing feelings inside of me. :P

Geomancer is basically just WHM/AST squished together. That's not really anything new or valuable...

I thought they specifically mentioned trying to keep a balance between tank and healer numbers, but guess not.

Oh well, 4 years with no new healer toys. Apparently that balancing issue from Heavensward was worse than we thought.

6 years.

Another new expac with no new healers. It'll be 6 years by the time there's another chance of a healer being introduced.

Maybe a silver lining is we have adventurer in need bonus along with our near instant ques?

[ElazulHP]

6 years now without a new healer seems excessive. I thought this was going to be the tank/healer expansion.

Everything was perfect until Dancer was announced as Ranged DPS.
I am so so so disappointed.
I hope the hammer character (or Minifillia) is our next healer for 5.0...

It's unlikely that Minfilia will be a healer. Presumably, she needs to be a DD so that if the player is a tank or healer there can still be a full trust party, since Thancred is GNB, Y'shtola is BLM, and Urianger is AST, at least if those are the four you start with before meeting up with more options.
