What if DNC is SHOMHOW a DPS?

[Burningskull]

How mad would the Healers be?

How happy would the DPS be?

How much angrier would DPS be that Gunbreaker is not a DPS but DNC is?

What weapon should DNC use? Fans, Chakrams, Color Guard Ribbon Things... Nunchukus, Bo Staffs, Double Bladed Staffs?

I really don't care what dancer is, I just want the teacher to be a Mamool Ja and the class story to loosely based off the movie Footlose. If I could get a tambourine to smack things with, all the better.

DPS Dancer at this stage would be a terrible move.

Fans, Ribbons or a Bo staff would work for a Dancer healer.

Save chakrams for a new physucal ranged DPS in 6.0

DPS Dancer at this stage would be a terrible move.

How so? Because they look to be returning to the trinity? (Gunbreaker - tank, Blue Mage - DPS...?)
DNC in XI was a DPS. I'd be cool with it being a support DPS or healer. Still I'd prefer a DPS with maybe whip or fans.
To be honest, I feel like they have healing covered at this point. Mind you they also had tank covered too...

Ok, now I want a tambourine.

Because we're in dire need of a new healer, and if Tanks get a new job but healers don't...

Because DPS will want a Gunblade more than a Dancer.

Thats subjective and personal preference. I havent really seen any official polls showing what players want one way or another.
I personally dont feel like we needed another tank or healer. But in fairness to those players, its good that they are entertaining them. Doesnt mean that DNC will be heals just because Gunbreaker is a tank though.

It would be interesting to see a physical based healer though.... instead of the usual caster-types.

Somehow? Have you not played FFVI or FFT? It was definitely a DPS job in its early days. It served as a counterpart to Bard, while Bard buffed the party, Dancer debuffed the enemy. Personally I'd be happiest to see Dancer as a support melee DPS and the introduction of Chemist as a healer, but that's unlikely at this point.

I said some how because the leaker has be correct so far and they said Dancer would be a healer.

Then we would be getting three jobs for SHB.
