Next Job Should be a healer

[Seraphor]

The classification : 4/4/9 for 5.0 and 5/5/10 (with range dps) for 6.0 should be the thing, I hope (+ maybe BLU adding as true caster during 5.X)

I think another Tank and Healer in 6.0 is very unlikely.
In fact I think any more tanks or healers at all is very unlikely. While tanks and healers are currently in drought, the fact that DPS are split into different categories is also a factor to consider.

We'd likely see new melee and ranged physical jobs in 6.0.
What the melee job will be I can't say, either maiming or scouting most likely.
Then 7.0 might see a new caster and the other of maiming/scouting. Or if we're lucky a tank, healer and melee.

It'll be healer, unfortunately. I really have no faith in SE designing an interesting and unique healer after the mess that is AST and WHM currently running around with no solid identity.

[Exiled_Tonberry]

That said, I think Dancer should be healer; and with that statement comes my firm hope that they can balance the healers with 4 better than with 3.

SCH is the undisputed for of healing. AST is right there with SCH, with the only thing that could potentially push them out slightly being if DNC has strong utility.
If they keep their stance on WHM of a "pure healer" we can pretty much kiss them goodbye.

That's my fear.

I really enjoy playing healer, so I wish for more healer classes as well

That's always going to be the case when you have 2 spots in a raid to fill and 3 classes, no? There WILL be 2 that are optimal if even by 5%. I recall this being said about AST for months and then blammo they got a huge buff to their skills and they pushed WHM out the door.

As far as new job priorities go, after Gunbreaker I think it's most important that they add another healer, and after that (whether it's in Shadowbringers or 6.0), another physical ranged DPS. We'll be pretty balanced at that point I think, since I think most people look at jobs in terms of role rather than main stat, like a few people are bringing up.

If dancer going to have a fan as a weapon i am 100% going to play it.

[ksuyen]

If the dancer is using a fan to deal damage to heal - 100% damage returns as 100% heal to the lowest HP allies - would that be too OP?
