Wasn't Astro not announced till the release of Heavensward?

[Ramesses]

The leak mentioned Geomancer. Given that Gunbreaker, Dancer, and two new races are confirmed, that's likely the next reveal

What leak...?

Leak in the milk carton...?

What leak...?

BLUfever. He leaked everything we've learned so far at about 97% accuracy (he was wrong on maybe 1 or 2 minor points).

Didn't see the one mentionning Geomancer.

I wouldn't rule out anything just yet but at the same time I wouldn't hold my breath. It is very likely we won't be getting a new healing job this time round. That kind of bums me out as out of all the roles a new healer Job would have been the thing I would be most interested in seeing but we are getting what we are getting.

Still a lot to get hyped about but it doesn't look like, for me, the jobs will be part of it this time round.

Astro was revealed well in advance of the launch date. First they just teased animations, then slowly more details were released about the job, as SE tends to.

Since I missed my chance to enjoy a full-on forum riot over dancer being announced as a limited job, perhaps the geomancer could be released as a limited healing job?

Instead of healing your parties, you travel far and wide to heal the land.

Oh, the bile that would be spread.

One thing to consider is that since BLU is limited now, they may add more to it for 5.0 and allow you to "choose" your role by equipping certain spells. In that way, we could get a new healer.

Probably wishful thinking, but possible.

[Fawkes]

It was at the same fanfest as machinist. I remember the hint was a 007 shirt, but we knew we had to be getting a healer and people joked about a gun healer, and then ast was announced and mch was the 'surprise' reveal.

[REPROBEAN_CHILD]

This is 100% false. No leak ever mentioned Geomancer. It mentioned Dancer specifically as a healer.

Astro was announced at fanfest. No job has ever been announced outside of fanfest except NIN, and that was a special case. There is no healer coming. The developers do not care about healers.

This post is 100%. The leak mentioned two races, Gunbreaker, and Dancer, which is what we're getting. Geomancer was also mentioned on it, which is a healer according to the game's lore. You have no idea if a healer is coming or not, you're just going by your feelings of disappointment in the recent reveals. AST's reveal from abour four years ago doesn't tell me anything ion the current Expac.

Let's believe for a healer (hammer character) announcement at the live letter tomorrow...




Didn't see that leak, wow.
Where is it ?

I'm not going to link a leak directly to this website lol. You can find it on reddit and a few Youtubers discussed it
