How would they even make another healer job though?

[Lacan]

I mean... we have one that regens, we've got one that shields, and we've got another one that can do either.

so what is the 4th healer even going to do? :v

[Gunspec]

Maybe a greater focus on AoE placement heals/ shields / buffs? If the next healer is geomancer, it could be like we are casting enchantments on the land itself. Think of those totems the enemies use in Wanderer's Palace (Hard).

I mean... the same thing can be said about tanks and dps? We have 4 flavors of melee dps, 3 flavors of physical ranged dps, 3 flavors of caster dps, and 4 flavors of tanks. What can adding another tank or dps do? Oh yeah. People that like to play tank or dps would have something to level and decide if they want to main it or not, so they might find a job they like to play more than their current one.

You really don’t need to troll healers. We get enough of it from SE in the form of dumbing down our dps rotations, homogenizing our jobs, and ignoring our pleas for changes during live letters.

SE already said they wont add any new healer until they find the balance they are looking for ,so this thread is useless.

also as its_elodie said, healers already have tons of issues cause of SE changes,there isn't any need to open an argument about it especially when there is such a thread about a 4th healer job wishlist in the healer role forum.

Fourth tank could heal through dealing damage.

[Ladon]

Adding another healer would frankly be a dumb move. Everyone would be better off if they took all the ideas they may have from a new healer job and distribute those ideas to the current healers to help differentiate them.

You're probably right, but if there isn't a new healer introduced for the next expansion it's going to get really ugly around here and elsewhere. I'm expecting them to add one just to avoid backlash. The healers we currently have should obviously be addressed first though. There's a good many problems.

Why isn't this argument ever applied to tanks and DPS?

How about no new tanks and no new DPS until they're balanced?

Give me something akin to a Fistweaver from WoW and I will show you all day every day.

That was my jam.

ask yosida then cause thats what he claimed in one of his interviews as to why no 4th healer and his answer was cause of the unbalance the healers have.
