    If there are only two jobs, I can kinda understand their reasoning. Healers and Tanks are the hardest jobs to balance when introduced to existing ones. So it would kinda make sense to do a tank/dps set for this expansion, then healer/dps for next expansion (gives them more time to work out balance).

    Sucks for people looking for a new healer though. Here's hoping there's a surprise announcement of healer based on the shirt Yoshida was wearing (Said "B yourself, B beautiful" and then had something about haircuts at the bottom).

    Then we have to wait six years for a healer. No. There is no excuse.

    You may not like it, but it is a valid excuse. It's very hard to balance tanks and healers. So they could spend their time getting the balance right on ONE or the other, or they could try to split their concentration and do a shitty job on both. That is something SE have said themselves with SB came out.

    Like I said though, I'm sympathetic. It sucks. That's why I'm hoping for a surprise announcement based on his shirt.

    Overall dps jobs are not even balanced well...

    Thing is even if they take their time they're just plain bad at it. SB is living proof that even with no new healer added the development team is patently incapable of balancing the healer roles ever since AST was thrown into the mix. They either need to bring in outside help or abandon any pretext of balance at this point.

    Six years. SIX. without healer, I'm not OK with that. It's just stupid. Can you imagine 6 years without DPS for example? If they were to make only 2 jobs on this expansion, sacrifing DPS was the logical choice, since SB was all DPS (3 DPS Job).
