At this point most people see tank as “immortality via ridiculous self healing” and so DRK is considered trash even though in single target it has the strongest mitigation and is the only tank that can regularly handle ultimate tankbusters with no external mitigation
As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.
I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess
I'd rather no new jobs and more creative ideas for our current jobs.



Pretty sure next expansion will be a 1 dps job expansion and it will be ranged physical. This would give them the extra time to focus on the other jobs and their identity.
I'd skip a expansion of jobs to have every current job redesigned to be more interesting in a heart beatthat and the fact that they want to always make one far ranged job (healer/magic/ranged) or one close up job (tank/melee) I personally don't see them ever doing two ranged jobs like a caster or phys ranged, So the fact we got 2 melees in a row should point to us getting a tank and physical ranged because Phys ranged is only 3 as of current.
Although, Personally i don't want any new jobs, I think they should spend 8.0 making what we got actually fun, instead of designing new jobs when our current jobs mostly aren't fun and are very samey.

We still have yet to see them add runic knight from FFV/FFVI. A tank that could dethrone paladin from it's place as the only job that both sword and shield.



Years and years ago they said they would not create a job using a shield, as it is too much work. Easier when they only have one weapon to deal with.
So they could still add Runic Knight, but it's more than likely it will not have a sword and shield.
