A question for SCH mains and enjoyers

[ty_taurus]

Ty has outright said all Healers must be changed, not even one can remain. He also opposed the idea of adding a new healer with the current paradigm while changing the existing four so that a person who likes healing now could "shelter" under the new healer. (That discussion in particular went hairy because of confusion over it being a Class or a Job, since we know classes in FFXIV aren't full Jobs, but he seemed not to like the idea of there being a healer Job that might have an aesthetic he'd like to play that doesn't exist in the changed/more complex state).

I like how you went out of your way to explain my stance for me (crudely) but failed to add in that I am entirely in support of reworking a healer to appeal to players who do not want to DPS as healers. You didn't feel like that was an important aspect of my stance to share with the class? I wonder why.

EDIT: Since you hated the idea of repurposing Conjurer because of arbitrary language that actually doesn't affect the game's engine in any functional way, I came up with a better idea just for you. After finishing the level 30 Conjurer questline a new quest unlocks where Syphie hands you her mother's job stone: White Mage (Classic) or WMC. This is an alternative version of White Mage that shares the same level and equipment, but uses a different job stone, similar to Summoner and Scholar. It's based on traditional White Mage spells.
