Next Job Should be a healer

[RitsukoSonoda]

I'm not saying this because I think dancer should be a dps, but I recall everyone in being pretty sure samurai was gonna be a tank since RDM was a dps. Point being nothing's guaranteed; more than likely and definitely a good decision though? Yes.

The main hitch I see with DNC being a healer is something I saw mentioned in another thread. Look at healer gear in game its nearly all long robes and cloaks. Very un-dancer like. Visually the scouting gear for ninja would be a better fit which could see DNC actually being a dex based support/dps if they add it.

We had the same complaints flying around for Red Mage. "How could they do their flips and sword attacks in those big heavy robes?"

It worked then, I'm sure it'll work now.

Much to our chagrin.

Finding suitably RDM-y clothes is a chore sometimes.

well healer just heal, when dps can be on several aspect ; rang, melee, melee + range, rang + melee + supp
where healer just do the same thing, focus on player and heal,

so maybe to see another way to heal, i dont think a 4th class is really needed.

but could be interesting to have some hybride rôle, dps + heal for exemple. or tank + heal, also who could switch between those role.

PLD is a tank+heal and RDM is a dps + heal. Although, every healer can also do decent DPS so they're all pretty much dps + heal anyway.

By that logic everything is a dps lol...

As a healer we have 2-3 dps moves and honestly we are more on heal mode counting almost all the teams you get do not know how 2 dodge even if by some luck you get a perfect team still after 60 you have 2 spend more time in healer mode plus after 60 lets face it there are more healer mecha than anything lol..


Also did someone rlly bring up cloths as a reason dnc should be a dps and not a healer rlly? When there are half nude tanks every where lol

Well they did say 'where healer just do the same thing, focus on player and heal' which is absolutely untrue. I spend more cooldowns doing damage than I do healing by a good margin (Not counting oGCD which are free heals and pretty much all you need MOST of the time unless you get one of those chaotic groups that stands in everything). Will I do as much as a good DPS? Absolutely not. But a sizable amount.

And yeah, pretty much everything is a DPS. Once tanks and healers do their job, secondary objective is pumping out as much damage as possible.

would be interesting if dancer was a job that could be either a healer or dps and its abilites had different effects depending on which role you were doing but im not sure how that would all work out

We need another tank and healer. DPS queues are ridiculous. I maintain a healer on par with my bard main only because it's a quick queue into the dungeons for the MSQ. I shouldn't have to do that. I'm rooting for Dancer to be a deflection tank. That would be awesome.

I don't disagree, but I hope you don't think the new tank and healer will change DPS queues for long.
