[Job idea] Dryad as healer

[Ceasaria]

Hi, It's been about two month, now, I began to imaginate this job.
I want to share my creation with you.

All you need to know can be find on this Google sheet : Dryad job

But I will sum up a bit here :

- Dryad is a healer who dances and uses nature during battles.
- His/her attribute is agility ; melee/range (or mid-range) ; magic ; weapon --> vegetable whip.
- The job has two stances dance : one give heals with auto-attacks ; the other give heals after you (or teamates) took damages.
- He has four channeling dances (4 seasons theme) of support type. Four spells are reinforced under its own dance.
- Some abilities and one spell are buffed/tied to Sprint.
- Great mobility because two dash healing abilities + a good use of Sprint.
- HoT/DoTs a bit powerful than other healers, but shorter duration.
- Spells are weakers if not buffed with their dance.
- Along with AST concerning the mana managment.
- I consider it's more difficult to play and to master than other healers jobs.


I have shared this work with the french community before (i didn't get a lot of answers though, but they were positives).


I hope you will enjoy the Dryad job.
If you can leave a comment, it would be nice.


PS : from K4 to M7, there are some informations.

I like an idea. But I think dryad is more like a race than a job

Yeah, usually Dryad is a race, I understand your feeling.

Thanks for the compliments, all of you.

Currently, I am on a DPS job and a Tank job I wrote end 2016 and early 2017.
With Stormblood, I need to rearrange them to fit with the expansion.
The dps job name is Meteorologist ; the tank job name is Spacetime Soldier.
These two are pretty unique, I think you will like them too

This is a really good idea and looks very fun =) You can tell that you've put a lot of thought into it. +1

Since they are using dances why not just call it a Dancer. I mean you can change how they dance and why so thats not an issue.

Also, why are the skills not in level order, showcasing how the job evolves over time?

One major thing I will add now, is to remove sprint from your moves. It became clear with the release of SB that a jobs function and skills should be self contained, and not come from outside sources. If anything, have something like a Monks Fists (wind) for the additional movement speed.
