Dear SE, I am a Healer

[RukiaFae]

I think this what's annoying me most about the situation. Why waste resources on Blue Mage instead on focusing on the promise they made healers in 4.0? If it was taxing to create a job mid expansion, even a limited job takes resources from the job design team, they should have focused on balancing healers better than going off on a side project. Did they really need to throw in an additional project "limited jobs" into the mix when they had other issues to work on. Why not focus on getting their main priorities then save new ideas for a time when everything is more balanced. With limited jobs added they will need to divert some resources to that project.

They could have worked on balancing healers like promised, worked on DRK and MCH, or dded a new healer or ranged dps mid expansion before starting work on BLU. That would leave them with two new jobs for 5.0 and them introduce limited in 5.5 once everything was a little more even.

Some healers don't have faith that they will really balance healers this time around because it seems like they got side tracked and forgot that's what they were suppose to do in 4.0. A rule to remember is "under promise and over deliver". For healers in 4.0 they over promised balancing for 4.0 and under delivered. Hopefully we will get a nice surprise in May.
