Idea for new healer class.

[FriendlyUncle]

I just don't really think 'dancing' to heal really fits into FFXIV. I never really thought it felt in place in FFXI. Bard I sort of get, music to inspire and invigorate the troops but I feel a dancer should be more of a distraction to enemies and less of a boon to allies.

Chemist would sort of fit into the game lore wise with the Garlean's. Native Garlean's are incapable of using magic if I remember correctly, which is why we see them throwing potions and using Magitek, like Cid's Aqua Vitae or Fortis from various troops around the Garlean strongholds. (Correct me if I am wrong.) So Chemist could work well I feel.

Dancer, its more a petty thing I suppose. I just always felt the class was cheeky and out of place.

In traditional D&D, Bards could buff/debuff and heal. Granted not as well as a main healer (cleric)
Also, bards in D&D needed ranks in a "perform" skill, which most people chose an instrument, or singing, but I have always chosen "Performance" for my bards
So a Dancer is another type of bard, in some ways.
