An arguement towards having Healing on DPS

[Acidblood]

I actually argue.. That Drain should have been buffed and given solely to blackmage. Or one of their abilities modified to add a vampiric effect or some sort. Bring them up so they can too be self reliant.

Unless Drain hit like Fire 4, or healed like Cure 2, it wouldn't be worth using (i.e. more time / HP lost trying to 'heal' than simply killing the damn mob)… and personally I'd rather BLM keep its DPS than have it watered down in exchange for self-healing (or even a Raise, please stop asking).

Oh, and no DPS (aside from maybe Red Mage) truly has self-sustain, at best they can buy themselves a few extra seconds; BLM just kills things faster to begin with. (And FYI: Second Wind is significantly worse than Manaward)

NB: IF BLM was to be given utility it should be Mana Shift; it would be unique and while not a direct Raise, would 'pay' for one (among other uses).
