Dancer is a DPS

[Vanitas]

I'm honestly suprised by this but to be fair we only have 2 ranged melee and haven't gotten one since heavensward so....

Many months ago, Yoshi said that he wanted the next healer to be Chemist. As we are going to the first world, that means were NOT going to Garlemald. We wont get Chemist until we go there and thus, we get Tank / DPS. In the next expansion I predict that the healer will be Chemist and play like Mercy from Overwatch, some kind of shooting heals at people. That's all I would expect, no more jobs after this. Why? Because by adding new jobs and having to rebalance all of them every expansion is becoming too much of a burden on the team.

Soo, here are my prediction for the expansions:
2017 SB: mDPS / cDPS
2019 ShB: Tank / rmDPS, end of new races
2021 Garlemald?: Heal / END OF NEW JOBS - Yoshi starts to pull back from his current role and becomes the executive producer
2023 More dragons or go west?: game focuses on new content only or goes into maintenance mode

The 3rd one isn't even really like... anything new. It's just a mashup of SCH/WHM.

It's almost like they designed themselves into a corner with healers or something.

As it always has been. The shocker here is that it's ranged.

[Burningskull]

The fact they didn't add a healer makes me even more angry that Gunbreaker is a tank and not a dps. Oh well.

[Skivvy]

As much as I was hoping for a healer, it looks pretty sweet as a ranged DPS. I'll most definitely be taking a shot at that job.

So 4 years of no new job for my main role?

Well there goes most of the interest I had in shadowbringers.

I had a feeling that dancer would be a dps. I had a hard time envisioning a dancing healer. But the fact that they didn't make a new healer class just screams to me how unimaginative the dev team is. What can't break the regen/shield dichotomy? I'm just salty.

My favourite is how dancer was historically a damage dealing job and wasn't even a healer in XI except for how subjobs worked and complimented each other.

"BuT iT wAs a HeAlEr iN xI!"

I played a DNC in XI. Even DNC wanted to sub DNC.
It was not a healer, but of course was very capable of being a healer and is actually a support class in most Final Fantasy games including XI.

Support in our 'XIV trinity' could have gone two ways, but people hoped for a new and exciting support healer. Unfortunately, it hasn't worked out that way.

Wrong. It's 6 years!
