What if DNC is SHOMHOW a DPS?

[Awha]

:P How would you react / feel if your preferred role did not get a new job in six years while every other role did?

Yep the answer of how we feel is obvi about that.

We put up with the most stress and we don't get q mount archivement and we do more work than tanks have 2 do

Technically, it would make a lot more sense for Dancer to be a DPS than a Healer... As it's classically been a more offensive version of Bard.


But Dark Knight tank threw any idea of making sense out of the window.




Edit: And if we're going to Garlemald, I still say Chemist would a thematically more fitting Healer class...

[Gemina]

If DNC was brought in as a DPS, there would be more healers that are upset they didn't get it than DPS who would be happy that they did. It would be shocking to nearly everyone at this point that the devs went that direction, but the only community that will riot as a result of not getting it would be the healers. If it is brought in as a healer, most of the DPS community would just shrug their shoulders and probably say "gratz".

In the next several months we will find out the if SE knows the age-old mmo lesson of never piss off your healer.

If they did that then I may as well help Garlemald, if my main role can't be bothered to get anything new in years. And the first people I'd go for are the ones that want everything under the sun to be a dps.

[Xtrasweettea]

We are all under the assumption that DNC would use actual weapons and attack an enemy with them (similar to FFV, Mog from FFVI, and DNC from FFXI).

For all we know, DNC could be like the Dancer job from Final Fantasy Tactics: a backline job that literally just danced... and afflicted the whole battlefield with stat reductions and enfeebles against (yay for Nameless Dance!).

[SenorPatty]

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

Too late matey! The ship has already set sail!

*looks over at said ship with dancer dps flag raised*

[loreleidiangelo]

I feel like the only healer main who would just shrug and move on with life if DNC were a DPS instead of a healer. I do tend to prioritize other stuff in game over having new stuff to level to level cap though, so there's that. If SBr comes with major content and job balance improvements I can't say I'd mind if there was no new healing job to level through it. If AST's healing went through the full design rework most of us want it to have I doubt I'd play another healer job again, really. It would be the perfect one for me. *_*

Tanks, and Healers have their turn now

DPS has:

Black Mage
Red Mage
Summoner
Monk
Samurai
Ninja
Dragoon
Bard
Machinist

Tanks:

Paladin
Warrior
Dark Knight
Gunbreaker

Healer has:

White Mage
Scholar
Astrologian

DPS has nine options, and ten if you believe Blue Mage is dps. (Not everyone agrees on Blues role)

Pick any of those. I doubt you have spent a lot of time with every job. I've personally tried all three healers, and I'm bored. Three options for the last four years is getting to me.

Now if we get a new healer, and Square Enix decides they have time for a new dps job in addition to healer, and tank, then alright. You can have your dps then, or wait two more years. It won't hurt as much as four.
