How would they even make another healer job though?

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.

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

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

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.

Yep. My point is that it's a crappy excuse to exclude a role from any new jobs for 6 years. (Longer if no healers come in 6.0).


I mean, come on. The real reason was they wanted to focus their devs on DPS since that's what most people play, with a secondary allotment to tanks. Healers are niche and hard to market. The "We're going to focus on balancing the healers" line over the last two expacs has just been to soften the blow and make healers feel like they're not being neglected.

Do you think that healers need balancing first?
