Can Meteor's next job not be melee?

[ForsakenRoe]

Meteor doesn't even need a robe to be a healer, right? When I played WoW, in the Battle for Azeroth trailer one of the most beautiful cinematics was Anduin using the Light to heal everyone around him. I'm sure some hated it, but you don't need him wearing a robe to be a healer. He can do a lot of cool stuff without being relegated to "Robe wearing healer."

Literally does the WOW equivalent of 'Healer LB3 an entire army'. Probably doesn't count though, because he's not a 30 year old (sarcasm). On the flipside, though, you do also have characters like Uther (Holy Paladin) or Khadgar (Arcane? Mage, idk he seems pretty good at all three specs from what I've seen), older characters who are definitely still badass despite the age (or perhaps because of their age?)

On our side, it's not like Healers have to be entirely 'girly' in aesthetic. Like, WHMs don't 'have' to be just twinkly lights, that's just what SE's decided to make them for whatever reason. But equally, they could just as easily be designed to be about the elemental powers of Earth, Wind and Water, as a foil to BLM's Fire/Ice/Lightning. Being able to summon tornadoes, cause flash flooding, and cause the very ground to quake, doesn't sound 'girly' or 'goofy' to me, but it's still within the WHM identity-sphere because of its Conjurer roots. Similarly, I don't think it's fair to say that SCH is 'girly' or 'goofy' just because it summons a Faerie, because that throws out all the Military/Tactical aesthetics, and those aren't exactly gender-specific. AST is fortunetelling, last I checked Fate is an equal-opportunities employer but there's also a Job Quest where an AST stops time, which is a fairly cool looking (gender neutral) level of power to wield in combat. And every notable NPC we've seen that uses SGE (going from memory, that'd be Alphinaud, his dad and the one viera in the Job Quest) are all male? Was there a single female SGE NPC at any point? Heck, it's not entirely SGE, but even Howling Blade is kinda sorta reminiscent of a SGE with his Fin Funnels (since both are inspired by Gundam) and he's male too

Louisoix was 72, Papalymo was 42, all of the Ancients are... Ancient. Or are we going to say that Louisoix looked 'girly' or 'goofy' in the ARR cinematic when he held off Bahamut?

perhaps it would come down to whether YoshiP would cosplay it at a Fanfest or not

would he do BLM?

He already did, at one of the HW ones IIRC
