The one concern I have with Machinist

[Erudito]

Hello everyone, I hope you have been having fun with expansion because I know I have.

Anyway, I unlocked Machinist, looked at the skills, practiced them and I can see where they want us to go with it but there is one single thing I noticed that struck my nerves and that is: self healing.

When I saw the complete move list for all classes/jobs, it left me a little shocked, this job has no way to heal itself outside of potions while any and all other combat classes/jobs have a way to heal themselves even if its not so great, it still helps during solo content when you get ambushed (note that all basic mobs are now very strong) or for when a fight is dragging out for too long and you are likely to get killed before you kill the enemy.

I know a DPS should not have anything to do with healing but all other jobs have a way to heal themselves (outside of potions) even if it is limited, they still have that emergency move for when fights are getting too long or enemies are likely to kill you before you kill them at matched level.

I was thinking of something along the lines of getting Second Wind from cross class like Bards do, or something a little bit more inventive, a special trait that makes potency and cooldown of potions/ethers/elixirs change to something more useful. Or maybe that move that Cid used when he was a guest fighter on instances, Aqua de Vita I think it was called.

I don't know, I just think it prudent for any and all combat class/jobs to have a way to heal themselves (even if its a little bit) outside of potions. What do you all think? Is it alright for this job to have no self healing moves (again, outside of potions) while all others do, or does the damage we do outline any threat of death before enemy death? Tell me what you think and discuss.

And remember guys, with respect.
