Psychier: The Psionic Healer

[Selvokaz]

This is just a quick idea i had for a new healer. I first posted this idea in a facebook group i'm a member of, and well i wanted to run it past you guys, maybe something could come of it or not, but I just super love the concept.

"I'd like it to be the opposite of Red Mage in that it's a healer who leans heavy toward DPS in that he has a few skills that are heavily implied to be DPS like in that they hit pretty hard if not really hard but have some kind of stipulation in their use, like a gauge that increases based off how much healing you've provided and at max allows for a DPS like offensive TK Blast that does some obscene amount of damage. I can totally see how psychic abilities could be used in a healer role.

TK Shields for a barrier like effect similar to AST or SCH's respective abilities, Mind Leech as their generic DOT ability, perhaps it also syphons MP from the enemy over time as well. They could have their own unique running animation like ninja where instead they levitate and glide forward. Psychic Chirurgery would be one of their healing abilities like Cure / Cure 2, Revivify would be their resurrection, oh oh, i got it, Dark Psyche would be their DPS Mode where all their healing abilities turn into DPS abilities, so Psychic Chirurgery would be Dark Chirurgery cause damage to targets, and Mind Leech would syphon Health from the target as DOT ect ect ect.

What do you guys think, should we petition the devs for a Healer/DPS psychic job."

Weapon wise i had envisioned a crystal as the classes weapon, basically its a telekinetically controlled long range projectile that you throw with TK, think Yondu from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2.

There are so many avenues this could go down but i wanted to throw out the jest of it and have other people give their two cents and ideas, maybe someone could structure it better, or just help shout it out at the Devs that we are interested in this being a new healer job.

While I am definitely more for more Healers that lean heavily on DPS, and like your idea, I don't think SE is ever gonna do it. They are in the rut of "every healer should be able to the same thing as the other healers in some form or another". They are trying to equalize healer throughput and damage right now, so I am not sure they will ever make a healer that leans more to dps. We all saw how they dealt with their previous Dps healer with how they obliterated Sch's dps.

That, and if they ever try to make a Psychic, I feel like it would be a dps with some utility in the form of damage mitigation through shields.

Edit: Also, you can bypass the character limit by editing your first post. Just cut it and past it into the edit.
