We Don't Need New Jobs

[SaberMaxwell]

I am a White Mage Main and I don't need another healer job, all the roles are filled o_o

White Mage - Spec to heal damage taken
Scholar - Spec to shield incoming damage
Astro - Buffs and Heals

Only roll we don't have is a debuffer but the debuff system in FFXIV is complicated and would need a rework for that to happen. Any healer will just be a copy and paste of one of the roles we already have, same shit different color. That is how I feel as a healer main but I know some are crying out for another job :3

That's fair enough, and I don't necessarily disagree, but the point is more "just because they don't add new jobs doesn't mean that the quality on old jobs goes up." They tried that in StB with tanks and healers, and spun their wheels a bunch, and ironically only made headway in ShB with the introduction of a new tank that changed the paradigm.

I agree with you that just because they don't add a new job doesn't mean they will work on old jobs, I just was hoping with the freed up resources they would haha
