A non-magic healer

[Malkria]

Chemist has been discussed quite a bit by the community for wanting it to be the next healer, unfortunately for the people who want chemist (me) dancer is picking up more hype and seems to be the obvious choice for the next healer which honestly won't be bad because it could give us a melee healer which sounds interesting.

A post was made a while back with what you seem to be getting at with the whole ninja mechanic and it really sounds fun and engaging.

Melee healing? Oh please no....just no. If you really want to try something like that go play Wildstar's 'medic' class. I loved the medic right up until it came time to actually heal groups and it turns out not being able to quickly heal someone who needs it across the arena is a quick way to lead to party wipes. Unless you had something like Rift's 'chloromancer' healer, where damage done translates to healing given to a target or party. Which MIGHT work with a dancer type healer. But I would still rather have another healer that gave more support options like the AST over a melee healer.

There I was in a raid getting brutally slashed by a crazed Coeurl, I called out for help from the Chemist Healer.
...he blind tosses a potion right at me.

Hey, it could be worse, in the future they shoot the medicine at you. ;p
