Dancer is a DPS

[Barraind]

We only have 1 melee dex-based class though.

Clearly we need 2 more light melee before we add any more healers, despite the fact that every dps is interchangeable with every other dps in how matchmaking works.

It's not moving the goal posts, but it does feel a bit like a slight to justify another DPS over a Healer as balancing out the number of a subcategory (Physical ranged dps) of a subcategory (ranged dps) of DPS role to the overall role of Healer.

If this is a Response to me, Im not trying to justify a DPS. Im just saying "Cool, so now we have 3 ranged DPSs."
Which I then changed to "Physical" just for the sake of being accurate. Because yes, Technically there are 6 ranged DPSs.
Thats all that was.

I get what you were doing/saying, I was just stating that I find that excuse unsatisfactory when people use it. It feels more like the people saying it are grasping at straws than an actual justification with any weight behind it.

We only have 2 regen healers and 2 shielders though. I'll throw you a bone and count AST as 1 of each. We need another of each. That means we need 2 healer jobs please, 1 regen healer and 1 shielding healer.

at least we know we will get a healer in 6.0 now. still so disappointed.

Would rather have the best whm costume instead of a new healing class.

You know that for a fact do you? They could jip healers in 6.0 just as easily as 5.0.

Sadly this could exactly be the case

Imagine Dancer was a healer, and then ranged phys DPS have to deal with another expansion of only two jobs. Do those players have less value than healers who want a fourth job? I'd much rather throw those players a bone, if I were making the decision.
