Aesthetics of healer

[ty_taurus]

So ive seen alot of meta analysis of all jobs but i wanted to ask something a bit more light hearted and as a healer main i want to aim this at other healers.

What is everyones favorite visual aspects of the class you play? Like artifact glams, attack animations, job specific poses, weapon designs or even just the over all theme of the job. I am curious to know what the non gameplay things that drew you to your healer of choice is (assuming it wasnt the gameplay that drew you to it) and if you would change any of it.

I deeply love Sage's style and aesthetic. I want to get more animations that really take advantage of the fantasy Sage is supposed to have (Death to the bugzapper).

I think visually, WHM, AST, and SGE all really deliver on the fantasy of their respective identities. SCH is the only one that I think feels a little aimless, like a more tepid midpoint between WHM and SGE.

Sages futuristic theme is amazing, what i remember most though about it (and i guess this is kind of a wierd thing to bring up) is the sound effects for all of its attacks, they sell the high tech theme soo well its so nice on the ears.

Astrologian, I'm a huge sucker for space and time magic. I love the TEA weapon especially but I will never get it unless they release a solo ultimate and make ast fun to play again

White mage too, I loved my earth (especially stoneja's break sound), wind and the water magic the enemies get to use and we dont. The wings are pretty too

sadly both jobs lost a lot of the cool vfx. bright white lights are so dull and make the healers samey. Rip white mage. Now its white flower mage.


that being said, I seen some modded animations and holy shit those are amazing. One I saw was an earthly star with a clock inside it using the 12's symbols. (translucent too so you can still see teh floor and aoes)

Same! I picked astro basically souly because of the space magic theme! I had no idea the animations use to be so flashy, were there spell effects more themed around the earth and water than they are now? also did they ever have a water damage spell or have those always been only for healing spells? (I only started playing just before EW came out)
