Why not bring back Leeches and Exalted Detriment?

It’s because they don’t want to keep making new animations for the same mandatory skill every time they release a new job. Instead of coming up with a new “Esuna” for the new healer they just get the role action esuna and the devs can focus on making unique skills for the job.

Every healer needs esuna, every tank needs rampart, every tank needs provoke. No point wasting animations and skill names on a skill that already exists.

Except the skill names and animations already exist. It’s a waste to not use them.

And I think if people can understand that ‘Rez’ means Raise, Resurrection or Ascend, they can probably get their head around ‘Cleanse’ meaning Esuna, Leeches or Exalt.

There will only ever be ONE more healer in the game’s lifetime, I can assure you that. It won’t be difficult to come up with one more version of Esuna.
