I don't know what the %s are of people that main DPS that now main SAM or RDM, but it doesn't matter - new DPS gave them something new to play with, experiment with, level, enjoy. Even if a RDM player went back to SMN or BRD or whatever their main was, they still had a new toy.

That's what we want - a new toy. Not even two, like DPS got with SB. Even if half the healer mains went back to their current class after playing/levelling DNC, it still would have given them something new to play with and enjoy. So many people saying "healers wouldn't switch" or "it wouldn't be my main" - okay? It doesn't have to be. It's just another option for us. Why is the expectation that DPS can sandbox their 9 classes, playing whatever they want at will, but healers and tanks should only get a new class if it's going to be The Best and we're all going to switch to it?

I won't stop being AST main, for many reasons (one of which is that I love the class - I hope they don't completely restructure it. But I'm still looking forward to playing around with a new class. Who knows? It might become a tie for my favourite.
