What if DNC is SHOMHOW a DPS?

[Awha]

I'd be like /shrug "ok, guess I'll play another job."

That is my general mindset I tend to stick with war since I enjoy playing it, I have like six Warrior alts. Nevertheless, when I try to take others play experience into account I think we can all agree having one role not get a new job on six years would be messed up.

Chemist would actually fit that gunner healer role based off previous iterations:


It's not as relevant now, but for the last 5 years I've been saying it would be interesting to get a physical healing job. One that primarily uses TP as a resource as opposed to MP, and again Chemist would definitely fit that role. The job could have been based around the FFT and FFX-2 versions using a gun for DPS abilities while throwing healing items at party members. (This doesn't need to be actual items from the player's inventory, and more complex actions might involve taking an extra GCD to "mix" the item before tossing it). Additionally this could be a healer that pairs well with more physical parties as their damage would be physical rather than magical, and they could benefit from melee DPS being able to Goad them. Though since TP and MP are merging next expansion, that part of the uniqueness in the job potential will be gone.

I agree Chemist would work well as a physical healer.

A Gun Healer Job would actually fit more for Chemist, in my opinion, with the weapon of choice being a Grenade launcher to launch containers of chemicals that have different effects. It can even use the lore that grenade launchers(or they can call it Chemical launchers) are used because it allowed Chemist to throw their containers of chemicals farther than just using their own arms.

It would an personally I would have rather had blu be the new tank dnc be some sort of hybrid dps with chemist be a healer. Either way aspect I enjoy most of mmo/ games is to see how far more creative people then I turn job concepts into their own.
