5.0 leaks (that I don't believe)

[Kalise]

As for the carbuncles, in previous games they typically gave a reflect spell which doesn't work in FFXIV and doesn't actually fit either well.

Didn't stop us getting Radiant Shield on Ifrit-Egi.

Also what would you do about Alphinauad's obsidian and ruby ones as they are dps and wouldn't fit your paradigm?

Nothing.

Players don't get access to Alphinaud's unique Obsidian Carbuncle. Thus, it can be different.

Also, as I mentioned before, it's possible to have Carbuncles having an auto-attack before being "Upgraded" into the Fairies that are pure healers upon becoming SCH.

Can you at least agree it isn't as simple as you are trying to make it sound to split summoner and scholar from a lore standpoint?

From a lore standpoint, it's easy to split Summoner from Arcanist. Given that Summoner literally has no interaction with you being an Arcanist at all. There is no reference to you being an Arcanist.

Scholar on the other hand, literally does mention you being an Arcanist, it's literally the reason that Alka Zolka came to the Arcanists guild to seek out an experienced Arcanist because he wasn't versed in Arcanima what with being a Marauder...

I'd hate to see it as they need to get healers balanced per their own words before giving us a new healer and we're waiting at least 2 more years.

I don't know what relevance this has?

In no world would splitting a job from Arcanist create a "New" healer. The only Healer would be Scholar. For the same reason you don't see Conjurer's running about the place...
