    Burst damage, burst heals, and debuffing. I want SCH, WHM, and BLM to have a baby. Mixing skills for various effects (like mudra, I imagine?) sounds fun, too. That could be its gimmick.

    And it could work great for dancer... ;P

    I think a Healer focused on debuffing would be a nice addition. However, it might upset the balance of Healers. Of course, that also assumes there is a debuff said Healer would get that is unique to it.

    This poll is no longer create a Healer, at this point it has become create a DPS that can support the group.

    Anything will upset the tank and healer balance. Honestly, I'm tired of raiding getting in the way of fun, interesting job design.

    What I meant is the balance between the Healers in the eyes of the meta. Basically which of the Healers has more to offer utility-wise than the others. If a Healer is capable of providing potent, useful debuffs no other job can then that Healer is going to become a staple to Savage content statics, leaving less room for the other Healers to shine. It's like right now how DRK is constantly being ragged on for its lack of unique utility compared to PLD and WAR.

    Naturally, casual players and easy content won't care about it, but that doesn't change the fact that it'd get special treatment and be the most desired job.

    I want to do something a little more than play whack-a-mole every few seconds when I heal. If SE could make it work somehow, they could fuse NIN, AST, and WHM together to create something different than what we have now... but the way fights are designed, you want to have those burst heals readily available. Not to mention that comboing heals to get your big one in time for the buster means you're not DPSing or buffing/debuffing, which means you probably aren't a useful as the other three jobs.

    I want a debuff focused healer but debuffs just aren't that useful in this game. Bosses ignore everything except type damage vuln ups. :c

    I think the requests for a debuff healer is more to counter AST.

    The HP drain thing was a mechanic of a popular WoW healer, and there was that Necromancer healer thread a while ago that made some really good cases for it.

    I voted for a debuff and stance dancing main healer. Basically, what I assume DNC could become.

    But, screw meta if it means things grow increasingly stagnant for the role instead of giving us more styles to tool around with.
