We Need a Dark Healer Class!

^that just some example i can think, combine with glorified blood visual animation and some gut wrenching sound effect, i say that is pretty dark as it can get from the healer lore perspective

I mean, what kind of healer use his/her own party hp to "heal"? Use pet for nothing more than a "walking hp substitute", using corpse even own party corpse to summon bloody totem to heal other?

Honestly, with that skill set just slap her a "bloody" whm set, a demonic freakish pet and a giggling emote, you could just named her edda and people will give you "yup thats the darkest healer if i ever saw one" label

No scratch that, its pretty much what i had in mind if Yoshi want to revive edda but want to make her finally on good guy side and our WOL decide to recruit her as member of scions of the dawn while still maintaining her yandere creepy personality (i can already imagine alphinaud reaction)

There is a necromancer type enemy you deal with during the WHM HW job quest storylines that is working on corrupted aether to restore life. They could play with the idea as a way of taking dark/shadow aligned aether and using it to restore HP.

Rift's Defiler and SWTOR's Corruption Sorcerer are good examples.

Oh yes please! I'd love this

Necromancer, Blood Mage, Saboteur or even Shaman could do the work as potential names.

Other than basic healer skillset with dark aesthetics I can see it having:
- 1 ability that evens out party HP
- 1 large ground AoE that drains HP from the enemies and destribute to allies inside it
- some debuffs for enemies
- a sort of Living Dead ability but to use on an ally
- a spell that heals using HP instead of MP

Dark healer that uses voodoo dolls (voodoo priest).

Doll used to dps (he links the boss to the doll in a way).
Healing aura and healing sound should be dark and creepy! Not the bling bling sounds or white/light fancy colors.
