How would they even make another healer job though?

[Lacan]

I mean... we have one that regens, we've got one that shields, and we've got another one that can do either.

so what is the 4th healer even going to do? :v

Maybe a greater focus on AoE placement heals/ shields / buffs? If the next healer is geomancer, it could be like we are casting enchantments on the land itself. Think of those totems the enemies use in Wanderer's Palace (Hard).

From what I've seen in the Astrologian quests, Geomancer is just reskinned White Mage in XIV. I'd say that an item based healer would probably be the next logical step. Given Alchemist is already being used, call it Apothecary (ala Octopath Traveler) or Salve-maker (ala Bravely Default).

Healer but with a rifle

I think there's a job in TA2 called Canonneer that works like that.

there's also Ana from overwatch and Sharla from xenoblade Chronicles both are healers that use a sniper rifle so its not too much of a stretch to fit in the healer role somehow

Well in the Star Wars The Old Republic, there's a class where you shoots a bomb or missile filled with green liquid that heals.

Chemist actually uses rifles in both FFT and FFX-2.

I mean... the same thing can be said about tanks and dps? We have 4 flavors of melee dps, 3 flavors of physical ranged dps, 3 flavors of caster dps, and 4 flavors of tanks. What can adding another tank or dps do? Oh yeah. People that like to play tank or dps would have something to level and decide if they want to main it or not, so they might find a job they like to play more than their current one.

You really don’t need to troll healers. We get enough of it from SE in the form of dumbing down our dps rotations, homogenizing our jobs, and ignoring our pleas for changes during live letters.

[CrimsonGunner]

SE already said they wont add any new healer until they find the balance they are looking for ,so this thread is useless.

also as its_elodie said, healers already have tons of issues cause of SE changes,there isn't any need to open an argument about it especially when there is such a thread about a 4th healer job wishlist in the healer role forum.

Why isn't this argument ever applied to tanks and DPS?

How about no new tanks and no new DPS until they're balanced?
