Dancer Job Actions - Concept

[ty_taurus]

One thing that bothers me with this. Gear sharing. Would dancer have its own unique gear set. Besides the fact I am not a fan of it not being able to share with the other healers. Do you envision your concept of dancer sharing gear with ninjas?

Also find the cross class wierd. Having a healer without access to stone skin and protection is odd. Means you can never have two heal one group, and if a full party got double dancer in duty finder they'd be at a substantial disadvantage. I think healers have resigned to forever have cross class of CNJ/THM. Not without the class having their own version of protection or swift cast.

Dancer would need its own gear set, as it has no need for mind. Gear sharing between healers is a bit of a luxury considering most DPS classes have their own as well. I think it opens up more room for diversity. I imagine Dancer gear would prioritize dexterity and would provide stats in piety, accuracy, determination, critical hit, and spell speed.

As for the strange cross class options, you have a point that it looks strange for a healer role not to cross class conjurer. At first, this was out of fear that Dancers would cross class Cure and replace Curing Waltz with a higher potency, but since I changed Dancer to dexterity instead of mind, it's more of an aesthetic choice now.

Earth Blues was designed to be the Dancer's answer to protect--virtually identical and doesn't stack with Protect. Swiftcast is a cross class of Thaumaturge as well, and not Conjurer. Dancer would still have access to it. The only real thing that Dancer would be missing is Stoneskin. Stoneskin isn't used quite as often throughout fights because it can be draining on MP, so besides going into a fight with Stoneskin on everyone, I don't see it that often.

Something to think about is what Dancer gets instead of Stoneskin--Mantra.
