Give AST 30 seconds in the limelight and it's "finally".

i was being silly i just dunno how a red mage healer without some sort of duality gimmick would work

Well Red Mage is know for being able to double cast the same skill at once so why not give it a mechanic that allows Red Mage healer to double the healing potency resulting in using 2 of the same healing skills for 1 cast and 1 skill cost.

That way Red mage becomes the Burst healer type Job.

I would love to see double cast be a major thing for RDM. Personally i kinda would like to preserve the melee thing, whether its a healer or something else, for a healer it wouldnt be impossible just tricky much like all melee supports are instant cd, id see a majority of functioning heals as cd based(lustrate, indomitability, bene), which could either make it underwhelming, or op if not balanced perfectly. i guess it could have a staff and stand back and cast, it just would make me frown.

Or we can give RDM Double and Triple, skills that are already in the Game, and then be done with it

So to answer your question with a another question, do we need really a new Tank or a Healer class aswell?

Depends, are you fine with ALL the queues being just as bad as PVP queues. Because that;s what gonna happen if they release just DPS classes.

I feel like the devs already said something about how they needed a sword using dps. If im remembering that correctly, then samurai is gonna be it

[FoxyAreku]

It is my hope that Samurai will fill this whole in my heart.

Also...Black Mage and Paladin both use magic in their tanking so a magic based tank isn't really needed. :P

I think everyone in this thread has forgotten something pretty important...

They could very well have Samurai wield a naginata instead of a katana ^o^

After all the samurai lady from the ffxi event is still in eorzea and she did wield a naginata... just a thought lol ;P

What would make it differ from Dragoon then? Other than not Jumping.

Personaly, I am tired of the mage like healer. The next healer class should be different, like maybe use TP and MP and if possible, not wear robes. Maybe the next healer will get healing power from a stat like dex?
