Unexplored Class Concepts I'd Love to See in FF14's Future

[Shurrikhan]

Many fights are designed around the healers spending extended periods at long range. If you can't heal out there, it's not viable.

But, again, HOW long? Specify. How many consecutive GCDs comprises is an "extended period"? And what is the minimal interval between those forced periods?

Hydaelyn's split mechanics, for instance, require no more than a couple GCDs at range per full cycle of her mechanics -- perhaps less with enough instant mobility (Aetherial Manipulation/Icarus/Thunderclap/Elusive Jump/En Avant). Even our Ultimates requires far less than constant splits.
