Thread: NEW HEALER FOR 5.0

You may not like it, but it is a valid excuse. It's very hard to balance tanks and healers. So they could spend their time getting the balance right on ONE or the other, or they could try to split their concentration and do a shitty job on both. That is something SE have said themselves with SB came out.

Like I said though, I'm sympathetic. It sucks. That's why I'm hoping for a surprise announcement based on his shirt.

Thing is even if they take their time they're just plain bad at it. SB is living proof that even with no new healer added the development team is patently incapable of balancing the healer roles ever since AST was thrown into the mix. They either need to bring in outside help or abandon any pretext of balance at this point.

Dancer makes more sense as a ranged dps imo. Not too disappointed with that. would've been nice to get another healer though. If we don't get a new healer in the following expansion then chances are we never will.

wait what? there were only 2 jobs added? are you counting blu? because blu doesnt count, its not a dps its a limited job

I still want to see a Medic job as healer.

You can also say that the gunblade job would have made more sense as a dps... but it's a tank

I'm actually legitimately angry if I don't see a new healer.

I've been patient and we get more dps?

Yeah, we need more healers... where is Geomancer

Well I can't speak for the gunbreaker class but dancer has always been a support/buff kind of class. Ranged DPS hits the mark. Sure healer could've worked too but somehow this one just feels right. Still sucks we don't have a new healer announced yet
