How would they even make another healer job though?

ask yosida then cause thats what he claimed in one of his interviews as to why no 4th healer and his answer was cause of the unbalance the healers have.

Yep. My point is that it's a crappy excuse to exclude a role from any new jobs for 6 years. (Longer if no healers come in 6.0).


I mean, come on. The real reason was they wanted to focus their devs on DPS since that's what most people play, with a secondary allotment to tanks. Healers are niche and hard to market. The "We're going to focus on balancing the healers" line over the last two expacs has just been to soften the blow and make healers feel like they're not being neglected.
