The Remaining Healers

[JunseiKei]

Still hoping for a healer that is based in TP. Or one that specializes in support; like actual support. No real DPS potential, but massive healing, party buffing and debuffing. I like healing, but often times the community forces too much importance on healers DPSing. While I ultimately can't disagree with the mentality, that doesn't mean I enjoy it. I'd ask for more fights that put emphasis on stressing healers to heal, but then I'd feel like another Gordias would happen. While I enjoyed Gordias, I know a lot didn't.

I'd love a healer focused on actual support, I feel like Chemist or Dancer fit into this slot pretty well since they aren't normally associated with offence as much as they are party support.

I find it funny how the topic is about healers and because it was just suggested about RDM possibly being a healer its suddenly another RDM debate about DPS or Tank

I have noticed the thread has become a bit more of a Red Mage speculation thread than a discussion on which traditional FF jobs work as healers in XIV. Debating why Red Mage does/doesn't make the list of 'remaining healers' is fine, but for stuff unrelated to the topic I'd suggest making a new thread to get a better discussion

I would be very worried about a healer based on TP, because I feel like it would be a lot easier to run out of than MP. I mean, I'm sure they could manage it somehow, but it would be tricky. And if you essentially let this theoretical TP healer have unlimited TP, then there's no real reason to use TP in the first place, is there?

I imagine, much like how they made dark knight go from sacrificing HP to using MP, they'd veer away from having a TP-based healer. But what do I know?

EDIT: Can anyone come up with a healer concept that doesn't use MP or TP? Or maybe only uses TP for big heals? That could be interesting. Or a terrible idea!
