What do you think about branching support-based healer from CNJ?

personally IF they were to add another job to CNJ I would rather it be an attacker DPS

SMN and SCH are designed to split them in two different roles. both have a healing spell, a revive and some mitigation skills. without that a downsynched scholar wouldn't work. and with the fairy they were able to add more skills to make them different than only the 5 jobskills after lvl 30.

a CNJ on the other hand has cure, cure 2, cure 3, medica, medica 2, can revive, can dispell, stoneskin, protect, has cleric stance... the CNJ is that much a healer, you can't make him to a DPS.

How about a job that can summon the Elementals to fight with him?

personally i think they should add another caster but not with cnj as a base. We only have 2 casters and we have 3 healers already

excuse me but yes you could, have you seen their DPS spells? just because the base class is a healer does not mean a job from that couldnt be a heavy DPS. if the devs wanted to they could make it work, you are silly to think otherwise.

how about something along the lines of THM with CNJ as the sub class for the stone and have ACN as the 3rd cross class set. it could work though I'm not sure what they would do with it. make it so that it could use Conjurer's DPS spells or something along those lines

i never said he is not able to make damage.

i said he still has all the healing spells. and even if you switch his mainstat to int he still can switch back to mind with cleric stance. okay, his heals will be 20% weaker. but that's still a lot. and as a dps he need some better skills for mana regenration. makes probably an endless cure 2 spam.

such a dps cnj is just broken and will probably replace a real healer. i mean: healer in this game spend more time dpsing than healing, right? with this class you get more dps for lesser healing, but who cares about healing, right?

They already said they didn't like how SCH/SMN turned out, and it's easy to see why because it's difficult to tweak one without affecting the other. Based on their strategy in HW I think they're done with having branching classes, despite it being a cool concept.

However... if you ask me, the most logical branch for CNJ would be GEO as a DPS. They added one tank/healer/ranged phys DPS in HW and NIN was added recently too, so it's about time for a new ranged magic DPS.

Also, before adding any new healers the development team needs to rethink their vision for new healing classes in this game because AST was kind of a lackluster addition honestly. Take away the card mechanics and they're a gimped WHM.

Personally, I always felt like the AST should have been a branch of the CNJ rather than an extra job.
