Next healer class released should be

[MirronTulaxia]

Reducing Geomancer to a single nuke, a dot and an aoe would be such a disservice to the class. Where the amount of things they could do with a chemist/medic theme would be fantastic.

Eh, you’re doing a disservice by trying to say it should be Black Mage with different elements. It’s not known for tossing out Tornado, Flood, and Quake. It’s got a lot of directions it can go but big AoE direct damage really isn’t the one it should be. In terms of possible designs it definitely has room for healing or casting, but the style you advocate for the latter isn’t fitting.

Great point about DoM. However we want to spin it chemistry is not magic; chemistry would fall under the DoW category. Garleans use chemistry to create monstrosities, and we know Garleans can't control aether.

Eh, wasn’t quite the direction I meant. I just meant if we get a Chemist it’ll be... well, a mage. In robes with a mace, not tights and a gun. Maybe it’ll get a jacket and shorts like Scholar. But it’ll still be the same basic build. It’ll have spell speed, it’ll cast spells, it’ll use MP, so on and so forth.

Your approach is strictly gameplay based
But you can't make FFXIV jobs without lore, how would you pass a chemist as a DoM job from Garlemald by Garleans (who don't use magic)?
If Chemist gets added it'll have to be a DoW. I don't see how they can get around the lore.
