Weapon of choice for future Healer?

[EdwinLi]

So what weapon would you like to see as a future Healer Job weapon?

For me I am hoping for...

Orb weapon as a healer weapon choice for the more mystical theme healer. Have a healer theme be more into the spiritual and unknown realms of reality.

Talisman weapons has always interest me in their potential as a healer weapon and what type of culture would be used as the base backstory for this type of Job.

The Tank Job Weapon and DPS Job Weapon are/will be on the Tank and Healer Role Threads.

If they end up adding Dancer as a Healer class, I'd love to see them use Fans. Or maybe Wind and Fire Wheels/Chakrams.

Fans or a whip for Dancer would be pretty cool.

I want to see a healer that uses a doll with 2 sides.

Voodoo-style side for damage spells.
Toy-style side for healing spells.

So like Lulu from ff10 but for healing, that'd be pretty cool

An orb would be too similar to starglobes.

I've also been struggling to think of a new healer concept, but I'm starting to think the current balance is good enough that we probably don't need to be scraping the bottom of the barrel for an new healer concept.

JohnnyCbad made a really cool concept for chemist. As much as people want dancer with fans or something of the sort, a chemist with a potion grenade launcher or something of the sort would be cool.

A snake? Or an aetherial one, if you wanna go fancy (and not scare the ophidiophobes)?

It's a long standing symbol of the healing arts after all.

Weapons are easy to think of. Gameplay is a lot harder.

I'm on the same train with DNC having chakrams/whips/fans. There are a lot of elegant weapons that are possible for DNC. You could even introduce a new weapon we have not seen yet with this job so long as it flows. Even a ribbon can work if done right.

I've also gravitated towards the idea of chemist as a healer and pondered on the type of weapon this job would use. Tossing vials of assorted concoctions at the ally/enemy sounds kind of boring to be honest. I've had a more difficult time thinking of neat weapons for chemist opposed to DNC, and based off of reactions to first impressions of Lysa last year, and the overwhelming favor towards DNC, if the devs are listening, this will be our next healer.

I would imagine a new healer's "weapon" would follow suit of the other 3 healers and be something designed to not be an actual, conventional weapon or not intended to be used aggressively. It would be something very visible when "sheathed," and large enough to be able to have it's own details of the primal/raid/gearset "theme."

Probably something a Koei Games -Warriors has already done :P
