Why not own this fixation on DPS?

They could make an healer job where healing comes from dealing damage, with a basic heals set for when enemies can't be hit and emergencies.

I’ve suggested this and it was shot down as not fair to the other healers. Or it would be a weak healer that no one wants. Personally I loved this playstyle like that of the chloromancer from Rift.

Everything can be balanced, and I think that a deeper diversity between the healers would be the key to solve the balance issues we have now.

Apologies if I don't get this exactly correct, but what I remember from rift with cloromancer is that it became the dominant healer, to the point where you'd take it for the extra damage and healing over anything else in PvE content. That's one thing I don't like about the damage to heal paradigm. If its too good, the other healers (or souls in Rift's case) get pushed out. Yeah, it can be balanced, but the developers actually have to do it.
