True you could change the aesthetics of it, but at the end of the day that would end up White Mage 1 and White Mage 2, I feel like Yoshi wouldn’t even waste the developers time on that. At least switch the roles!
Yea I think it's definitely hard to create a new healer with a strong identity, since WHM has been the core of things healing related forever. You could say though the removal of the elements lends to either side, a new healer using those elements or a Geomancer dps with them. But coupled with what has become fairly expansive lore or caster Geomancers it just looks more and more like the aim is give us a Caster DPS Geo and a new stand alone healer. Though Yoshi could always curve ball us and give the other or neither.
