What if DNC is SHOMHOW a DPS?

[Vespar]

Then we would be getting three jobs for SHB.

Three?
I only count two technically as BLU was part of 4.X (assuming DNC is released as per supposed leaks)

Three meaning there's no way they're not giving us a healer, so if DNC is a DPS, we'll also be getting a healer class.

Getting tired of all of the DPS-selfish threads here. "I love x class, so it has to be DPS bc healers and tanks don't need anything new, they already have stuff!" Same people, every time. Gunbreaker was tank, you've finally had your 5 days of mourning, and now you're on to DNC.

Most healer mains I know will probably quit the game and have expressed as much if they don't give us something new. Have fun with your DPS queues then.

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.

Its been 4 years since we got a new tank and healer, making that 6 years would be the middle finger to all tanks and healers.
And tanks and healers kinda go together, they're always the roles in need, can't do anything without them.

"It's good that they're entertaining them."
Could you try to sound less patronising?

Three as in GUN tank, DNC dps (assuming it becomes one) and an unknown job for Healer because they will be releasing a healer for SHB.

This wasn't a "DNC needs to be DPS" thread. I was just asking some questions about how would you feel IF DNC was a DPS. I've come to tearms with GNB being a tank and I'm looking forward to playing it. I honestly don't care what DNC is. If it's a Healer I'll unlock it and never touch it. If it's a DPS I'll level it and go back to GNB after words. This was purely a discussion thread not a HATE thread.

Dang, now that people have accepted gunbreaker as a tank people are targeting dancer saying it must be a dps class now.

Im a tank main and I hope Dancer is a healer. Really healers need something new and if its another dps job I would be surprised and extremely disappointed.

[MorbolvampireQueen6]

No dont even joke about that. In fact we better not get any dps jobs 4 the nxt 2 expansions until we get 2 more tanks and 2 more healers

Again, not a DNC needs to be a DPS thread. Was just curious how people would feel IF it happens.

Hows this id kick em in the face in my head 2 million times if they did that thats how id feel

The honest answer without outrage at even the thought of it?

Well healers would be hugely in demand. So those that stuck with the game would get treated like royalty and instant queues.

But of course some would be outraged. Some would not be mad, but would be very bored with healing. In short it would not be good for the healer population, but those that didn't leave or switch would find themselves very in demand.

It's worth noting that this sort of already happened at the start of stormblood. In dungeon queues and in PFs at max level. The raiding healing population is also already a bit low even right now - so even decently skilled, off meta healers are pretty sought after.
