NEW HEALER CLASS IDEA!

[Hatstand]

I mean... healing falls under "Disciples of Magic", mate. That's like complaining the caster DPS we have are too magic-y.

Which is why it’s high time we got some physical ranged healers. It’s always rankled me that we needed more “physical ranged dps” because that’s so different from magical ranged dps and physical melee dps that it has to be in balance with the other two, but tanks and healers don’t get the same categories. New jobs next xpac: 2 physical ranged healers and 1 magical tank. Time to get the number of classes per set more balanced.

New job confirmed for 6.0!

Hold up.

You're talking about "balancing out" jobs.

By transferring more roles to Disciples of War.

When we have only 6 Disciples of Magic against 11 Disciples of War.

And literally just got a new Tank and Physical Ranged job.

Tanking, a role which already has 4 jobs in it.

Healing, a role that's been having trouble enough balancing 3 jobs, to which we very carefully suggest a fourth.

And you're calling that balanced?

... Well to just put a quick pin in that one, you're aware that introducing a physical ranged healer and magical tank means creating even more gear sets tailored to those jobs, right? We already have nobody sharing NIN or DRG gear but you want to expand that by at least two more categories, which means more loot dilution, more gear to carry, etc.
