How would they even make another healer job though?

I have never been a healer main and wanted a healer this expansion.
Also i do not care if players will disagree with what i am about to say but we do not need dps EVERY expansion, we had enough to last that we could go without for 1 or 2 expansions like seriously.
Yes yes bring on that dps are seperated by physical ranged and bleh bleh
2X the excuse was used that they needed to balance healers, next expansion they will use something else i am sure if they add just dps

No, I agree, whilst DPS are categorised, those categories all have the same role and same focus, to consider them as separate roles is arbitrary. As much as I love my ranged physical DNC and believed they'd have ruined it if they made it into a healer. I don't think "we need another ranged physical instead" is a good reason. "we are struggling with healers and don't know what to do with them" however, is.

Whilst some may try to argue something like DNC is a support role and that makes it different, it's support is to still push the DPS of the group. Each DPS I kinda balanced around how much selfish DPS they do and how much they benefit the party DPS. And how they do this is not categorised, which I think is fine. MCH is the selfish DPS version of ranged physical, and SAM is the melee one and BLM is the mage one. Whereas RDM, NIN and DNC kinda are less on the selfish side.
