New Healer Job Suggestion: Necromancer

But Raise doesn't 'raise the dead', it awakens the party from KO.

If you want to see necromancy in FFXIV, play Tam Tara Hard.

I'd be completely on board with something a Witch Doctor, or Shaman job, that has a similar aesthetic, but Necromancer wouldn't work.

Except that neither of those has a precedent in Final Fantasy; arguably the positions of each might be better fulfilled by a Geomancer, which would fulfill a completely different playstyle and aesthetic.

Necromancer does, even being considered as a job option in prior entries, which is why it should not be dismissed offhand now.

As for whether or not Raise "raises the dead", I would consider that a matter of splitting hairs.
