DANCER IS A DPS?

[Bright-Flower]

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

That, and there's no reason to assume they'd go back to geomancer anyway in 6.0 for a healer anyway.

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.

Alphinaud and Alisaie were shown in the previous fan fest as a part of the Trust System.
So everything is possible.

yeah, I 'am sick of hearing AST is Time Mage + Gambler + Geomancer.

I'm still in denial about no new healers right now... ugh...

I'm holding out hope for a new healing job (not that I'm actually hopeful) but if not I want at least one entirely redesigned healer, kinda like the Bard treatment. If current jobs only get token upgrades I'm not sure why. What about healing that makes it so impossible to add new jobs? I won't be satisfied with any explanation but I at least want a full one, not some vague answer.

I guess we'll have more answer about that in May.
I wonder if healers will not be completely reworked, especially WHM and that it would be the reason for not introducing a 4th one.

Eh. "We're going to balance the healers!" was one of the excuses for not introducing a new healer in stormblood and surprise, surprise, SE still can't balance them. With or without a new healing class, don't expect things to change much...

"We're going to give back cleric stance as the original and nerf healing potency so healer will not dps too much.
We can't give you a new healer because of that."

Would be funny if it's the reason lol

I'd rather they just stop bothering with balance at this point or bring in outside help. In SB their answer to balance was to nerf SCH into the ground when the expansion dropped, to the point they had to buff them and then OVER buff them over the course of several patches. They don't know how to balance anything and if that's how things are going to continue to be I'd rather they just dive right in and embrace it by giving us a new healer at this point.

I'm just so damn frustrated. . .

If I type anything else I'll get banned.

[Rosa_Frandlia]

Can I have hope for the WHM rework with a flood of light? That seems as good of excuse as any to get WHM some utility as we aren't getting a new healer.

Chakrams used to be a monk throwing weapon back in 1.0.
Dancer is the closest thing to Monk, look at Lyse!
Time travel expansion? Check.

We've come full circle boys.
