Next new job better be heals

[Jade3173]

If they could implement Green Mage in a cool way I would 100% be behind that. Since it doesnt really fit anywhere else.

I agree with it being a great healer and if they could do it in a good way would love to see it. However, it would easily make a tank. They use hammers so give them a 1-2-3 combo to spam and then easily slap on "spells" (read: Abilities) like Protect for tank CDs with Bubble or something for the big CD

I really like the idea of Protect as a personal cooldown and the other such abilities.

I can practically guarantee Thin Air will become a role action come 6.0

The best part, is that they'll do it because they believe healers have too difficult of a time keeping up with the demands of healing and assume it fixes all of the problems we have as a community.

God no, if it's MP issues they're worried about, WHM virtually has none, SCH doesn't really either unless you're not using Aetherflow or Energy Drain enough.

AST is would be the only that would benefit from this. And even that, I'd rather them bake MP recovery into placing cards on the right target to encourage learning the cards. Or simply make Lightspeed have no MP cost than zero if they're feeling lazy.

WHM has had so much of its kit ripped from it, I'd rather have imperfect balance and unique jobs at this point than all of the healers have 1-1 copies of their healing kits.

Watch as they finally release Chemist ... as a ranged dps.

Given how I don’t like any of the Ranger physicals right now, I wouldn’t be opposed to the idea. But that’s a me thing.

Still with how they’ve done Healers thus far do we trust them with a 4th?

[Rasikko]

Im not so sure they know how to make a 4th, because from where Im sitting, seems like its not healing that most want, but instead a 4th, 'better at DPSing than SCH' job, or in other words a true green DPS.

[Derio]

People want a true green DPS now that all of the current healers dps kits got gutted. The real killer for gameplay as there are several periods of time in all content where you are not healing but hitting 1 button over and over and over.

DPS for healer jobs needs to be examined and fixed, THEN they can start designing a concept for a 4th healer.

And in the course of examining DPS, the AST card system needs a major overhaul. Personally, I'd prefer for all the cards to become party buffs, so that target switching can be reduced... and Sleeve Draw needs to be converted into something that does not require switching targets in rapid succession. I'm not maining AST again until it can be played without stressing my wrists.

Maybe it’s just cynicism but does anyone else worry that they actually are just going to ignore all the healer feedback they’ve been given?
Then they’ll release a new healer next expansion with all the same problems as the ones we have now (1 DoT, one DPS filler, and a whole bunch of healing GCDs/spells that don’t see much use) and the cycle will just repeat?

Maybe it’s just their refusal to at least acknowledge the feedback that makes me find it hard to believe they’re taking it on board. I mean, regardless of what you want for healers, whether it’s green dps or pure healers, I don’t feel like they’ve really tried to think about what people are saying in regards to any kind of healing feedback, at least since Shadowbringers began.

I’d love to see a new healer with the next expansion of course; even if it was something I wasn’t interested in personally I like the idea of a new job bringing something new to the role, even if it’s just in terms of working with them rather than playing as one. But then it’s like, with all the problems healers have, and the fact that we’ve not really had any sort of acceptance of these problems, makes me worry for the future of the role both long-term and short-term

I am thrilled to see that I am not the only one utterly dissatisfied with the current state of our healer roles.
