This classic FF job could solve Healer Dilemma

[Wildheaven182]

Ah, perhaps i can give the square enix reply.

We will never release another tank or healer class because we lack the skill to implement it well.

But if we did make a new healer, we could certainly do a cleric. We'll call it, clerictologian or clerictomancer. Clerictologist. Enclericler.

It can have a mace! That would be perfect for casting spells from at a range with all the no melee abilities we'll give it.
A shield is a good idea too! It will look thematic as you use all of the no shield based abilities we'll give it. We'll also have to take off stats from other cleric gear to put on the shield so it's balanced. But requiring an extra piece of equipment will take more tomes and resources, which means more sub time.

Now as for the kit, we're thinking a basic heal. We'll call it, Clericure. And later it will have a chance to proc a free cast of Clericure 2!
And then it will need a regen, Cleregen. An aoe heal, and aoe regen. And then an ocgd heal. And then 6 more ogcd heals and shields, and a heal to full hp.
Cant forget Cleresuna and Clersleep.
And Claero for dots.

Then it will need a core mechanic... how about another three stack system? It could be used for 100 potency damage or for healing.

Thank you for your input! We hope to add this new healer class Clerictologianizer in 6 to 8 years even though it is 90% identical to white mage, after adding 4 new dps classes:
-Punchomancer(we give up on fixing monk)
-Dark Mage(we ruined black mage and gave up on that too)
-Edge Knight(we apologize for accidentally deleting dark knight in 7.1)
-Overworked japanese salaryman

Please support the game by buying mountain dew at the vending machines outside the boba shop in Solution Final Fantasy 9.

Bro took a whole flamethrower to the entire dev team.

I'd love to see a melee healer or a phys ranged healer named Chemist, but I don't have high hopes we're getting that, any time soon. The job team is basically one hamster on a wheel powering a building.
