NEW HEALER FOR 5.0

[technole]

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

It's coming, he didn't say Dancer was the last job. I don't get why everyone is assuming it is.

Guys i can understand no new healer announced this time. But when they showed Gaia Yoshi talked alot about how they can make the hammer work so possibly a new healer they might spring at the last few months before release.

Personally i was hoping for dnc healer to go with the new Gunbreaker but either way dont just give up hope yet because Yoshi hides too much in what he says.

Anyway heres to hoping for a hammer healer for all you healer mains who keep tanks like me alive.

Healers adapt... to playing DPS or Tank in 5.0

If we don't get a new healing job I might just drop the role entirely in disinterest barring few exceptions.

I’m like 90% sure that the reason we didn’t get a healer this expansion either is all because of blue mage, which annoys the heck out of me cuz I didn’t even want the job in the first place. My guess is that a lot of development time went into blue mage while they were working on Dancer and Gunbreaker so they didn’t have much more time before the expansion to develop a healer. So this we were left behind again...

Yeah but then they could have skipped dancer and make a healer then. It's no excuse. After one expansion without healer, they had to make one.

I hope you and others who are staying positive are correct. But I don't think this is gonna happen. I'm just gonna reroll as a drg for ShB. I love sch but I've played it since arr and ast didnt exactly clense my pallet as its either sch lite or whm lite when it comes to healing. A new healer would have been a chance to break that. Who knows. Maybe we will all be jumping for joy by the end of the weekend.

I mean...to be fair.
Ranged Physical Dps only had 2 jobs to pick from or should I say just one because nobody plays mch.

And so we were given one of the least fitting possible jobs by which to boost the job's roster size, which will probably again result in almost all Ranged playing Bard.

If a new healer is not ready on launch of Shadowbringers, they wont release one till the next expansion. Why? Raid tuning and balancing. It would cause a massive mess if they did a mid expansion job release. They have already said that they are fairly set in their ways when it comes to development cycles and scheduling. They like their schedule so I am expecting that the healer will be the last job they will introduce and then no longer add new jobs because it is getting too complex to balance them all. I hope I am wrong, I want to be wrong, prove me wrong... please.

One would hope dancer would help with being more supportive of a magic meta comp, but we still have the combat revamp letter to go through months from now to see just how these two will bring what sort of synergy in terms of class support.
