my idea is change what Healer role to 2 roles:
- Magical Support:
White Mage, Scholar, Astrologian, Sage
- Physical Support:
Bard, Dancer

how will Magical + Physical support will work?
let's give an example:
50% will be healing.
20% to 40% will be support buffs
30% to 10% will be damage skills.

so physical and magical supports will split into 2:
- Supports that lean more into buffs. (Astro)
- Support that lean more into DPS. (White mage)
so it will give healer much more than just a heal.

How team will look like?
In 8 man party:
- 2 Tanks.
- 2 Support (Magical or Physical)
- 4 DPS

in 4 man party:
1 Tank, 1 Support (Magical or Physical), 2 DPS.

in this way it will also improve queue for dungeons and raids.

New roles? healers or supports?

please give me your thoughts and why you think these changes will work or will not work.


Thank you
