So it's not a healer. I still like playing what healing jobs we have. As for ranged DPS, Dancer does seem like a breath of fresh air compared to the current options, which still feel too similar to me outside of one having better buffs and another requiring a PhD in mathematics to play.
As for healers wanting Dancer to be a healer, I think I know what the next healer will be.
Hey I didn't give anyone permission to use my likeness in their drawings!

I was excited even when it was expected to be healer but since it's dps I've moved way past excited and moved on to Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I am really happy its a ranged DPS sad for those who want healer but I never heal much but I would have had a go if it had of been the opposite. I am glad though I am so excited.
I am excited for it and looking forward to playing it. It does suck that healer mains won't get a new toy, but I think SE may feel designing and balancing both a tank and healer for the same expansion is a bit much. Dps is easy to do compared to the other two roles. I think we will start to see expansions that will have a tank or healer paired up with a dps.
I love healing the most and I'm sure I'd have enjoyed another healing class, but I also think that it being a DPS class is super cool. (It also suits my future dancer's charisma more than if it had been a healer, so I'm extra cool with it, haha).
In any case, I know some people wanted it to be a healer and some people wanted it to be a DPS class, so someone was going to be disappointed either way. I'm sure the class will be enjoyable regardless.
I was hoping for it to be a healer but my hopes and dreams were not invested and hinging on that so I'm totally excited to be throwing chakram and dancing while kicking ass! My only gripe is why does it have to be dps/support? I imagine it's some design plan for physical ranged dps to all be support as well over in SE HQ while magic ranged dps get to mainly focus on dmg but it is what it is.
We already have salt mage in game. That's every healer.
I admit I'm really sad we didn't get another healer, but DNC reminds me of BRD which I enjoy a lot and I level everything anyways. I'll probably enjoy it.
But I'm still empathic to everyone that wanted a healer.
You can be excited about DNC without being condescending to the people that are upset right now.
I was initially disappointed, but I got over it really fast.
- I'd rather heal all the new gunbreakers as a SCH anyway as it's what I'm most comfortable with.
- Chakrams are baller as hell.
- Bard was our only non-caster ranged DPS, putting the Dancer next to the Bard just fits.
- I was sold when I saw the Dancer's movements and realized it would look just as badass on my Fem Roe.
So no salt here. I've adapted and am ready to go.
I thought the reveal looked great. I was Dancer main in XI, and always loved the job as a sub too. Cannot wait to see how it gets implemented here, but it looked really good in the vid. AND THAT OUTFIT !!!! Except the shoes...pointy toes, a bit tragic. Anyway I think it will be fun![]()
