DANCER IS A DPS?

[MorbolvampireQueen6]

Surely dancer will still have at least one or two healing abilities. Some games I’ve played that aren’t final fantasy, had dancers using stuff like “Dance of Life” and “Invigorating Dance” so surely we will get at least one healing ability along with support. Please?

if it does im not dpsing with it im just going 2 heal in dunguons with it

Tbh..... considering how everyone’s been reacting to the news, I have a feeling no one will fault you for it. I wouldn’t, but I don’t care how people play, that’s up to them.

Sad about this too but I'll reserve judgement on healer balance till we see the new skills for SCH/WHM/AST. I wish they would address that aspect specifically at the very least, cause they absolutely have to do so if they're going to convince people they're doing better.

I've been saying for years that SE's job team either doesn't understand or care about healing. The interest just isn't there to do a halfway decent job of it IMHO. This isn't going to get fixed until Yoshida either gets replaced or hires out of the JP community.

3.0 was a subtle notice that there was an problem with the design process for healers and 4.0 pretty much shoved those issues in everyones faces.

At least there's two positives to take away from this.

Yoshida has literally no excuse for all 3 healers be in the sort of mess that they were come 4.0 now. And if nothing else, at least the healer queues will be smaller now <3

I hesitate to put the blame on Yoshi when he's probably hardly aware of whatever issues healers face (and that's fine, one person can't do everything). But holy ship did the devs drop the ball on this one.

And no, it won't be better next expac. Not unless SE drops the "white mage is a pure healer!" vision while giving every other healer as good as if not better healing. Which they haven't said they're doing and the community reps haven't posted in this forum for approaching 2 years now so. Well.

4 years since last Healer release ... the next extansion will be in 2 years ? 6 years between 2 healer release ? WTF, how it's possible ...

Why dancer is a stupid DPS seriously. So dumb.

If we don't get a new healer, I will just switch to blackmage or dancer for the next expansion.
I really enjoy healing raids, but after playing the same 3 jobs for years I want something new :/
Maybe the hammer girl is representing the new healer job ... hope dies last ...

I'm not a huge fan of the danser and the whole time I was like "man I hope it's a dps..... Just not a healer please X_x)

Im disappointed there are no new healer, but I prefer no new healer than dancer healer x)

SE shoving dps classes at the player base whilst ignoring healers. Ok I get the message. Time to park my healers and climb aboard the pew pew train. Oh and can we have a dps meter as well just to add to the ridiculousness.

Crossing fingers that they release a new healer job sometime during patch 5.1 - 5.5 then, if not earlier...

Edit: I'd probably still main WHM, but it would still be nice to have a new healer job...
