Magitech Healing Class

[NobleWinter]

I thought Geomancers were going to be the next big thing or has nothing actually been confirmed for that yet? It's kind of strange they got so much stage time in the astrologian story quest. I was pretty sure it was inevitable they would be the next healer released since they are tied so heavily to Kugane.

Nothing's been confirmed. Geomancer has been telegraphed pretty strongly, as you saw in that quest line. So that's what people expect.

I mean, I like a Magitech healer more than Geomancer. That would be really different. Geomancer bears a very striking resemblance to White Mage, what with the wind (Aero) and stone (Stone) and water (Fluid Aura, possibly the heals) and power coming from the earth (the Twelveswood Elementals). It makes me wonder how they plan to distinguish them aside from "this one is from Gridania and that one is from Kugane".

Maybe they plan to turn White Mages into Priests, which would explain the otherwise very thematically out of place Plenary Indulgence.

I've heard the argument made that Geomancers are just Orthard's version of Conjurers. Similar to how Ishgard had Chirurgeons.

I'm still hoping for dancer as a healing class, since that would be an interesting way to add in a TP healer with some fantastic animations. Hopefully we visit Thavnair in the next expansion (since it seems like we may be moving westward), and we already have an emote called "Thavnairian Dance".

Just my two cents, but a magitek healer would be cool! Or... How about a magitek tank?
