My vision of a Healer Dancer

[Kazrah]

Being conservative keeps the status quo. You claim that you want unique classes to bring more players to tanking and healing, but at the same time, you seem to be in favor of keeping the status quo. I prefer to be realistic rather than optimistic. If I want something to change, I don't do the same things the same way, hoping that the randomness of life will this time be in favor.

I'm not saying make a generic healer. I'm saying even the smallest change, especially in this game, can mean the world of difference and how important it is to take note of that. Even my Sorcerer concept, for how different it looked on the surface compared to other tanks, still followed the same skill template as every other tank. This healer concept that I posted before Stormblood, despite being fairly different compared to what healers we have, still follows the same healing toolkit as every other healer.

Melee healers, caster tanks, multi-weapon users; all possible as long as you follow the templates. For me, it's not "status quo" when it comes to making concepts, it's sticking to boundaries to show that they can be done. If I really wanted the kind of change like you suggest, then you may as well be making something for a different game since that sort of change hasn't really existed in FFXIV. Even with the mechanics reworks, there's still not really any change outside of correcting a change that shouldn't have happened in the first place.

I like the concept. I know dancer has been something that has been wanted for a while now.

This can also be merged I suppose with an idea me and my friends were joking around with in terms of a healer that used their own HP to heal others while dealing damage to restore their own (think of it as the way warriors and dark knights were supposed to be with self healing). Meaning no mana bar and having to work around that.

OH! Like a passive of theirs to get their HP back is whenever their party deals damage, they get a portion of it back.
