How would they even make another healer job though?

SE is just in over its heads. It can't design jobs with unique healing methods because everything is essentially the same kit with a little extra twist. There's nothing they can do unless they do a massive re-haul of each healing kit otherwise you just have another healer with a few minor twists. Astrologer has nothing especially "new" but they tacked on cards... now if they go vanilla with this they can just make it a healer with a twist that focuses on something extra with no relation to healing but that's all. Astrologer alone is proof they had no clue how to make a new healer... it's just a re-hash of the first 2.

They can get away with this on dps because these kits don't feel necessarily stale with the "twists" that make it a dps. Dancer was basically just adding a dance twist to old MCH-like rotation with some procs after all. and the dance themselves are a rehash sort of of ninjutsu but with a how-to built in. Gnb is barely different from other tanks except in that it dpses sort of differently. Could go on but basically this trick doesn't work with healing for the most part so they're stumped.

If they abandoned their standardized kit Id say something like alchemist.

Sort of similar to druid probably from WoW

Theory on how it'd work:
twist would be mixing potions for extra benefits to your heals
abilities that add HoTs which build up instead of "standard healing kit"
a finisher heal that "eats up hots to heal large amounts (big heal)"
aoe heal HoT much like fairy with another big heal that expends existing HoTs to heal.

Eh just the only way they could really add a healer to this game, on top of that more of its kit should use instants than other healers, or in general low GCDs. *shrug*

to make it feel unique they could drop other regens but regen healing is the only thing they have left to utilize.
