Next new job better be heals

Apothecary instead of Chemist?

[BasicBlake]

Chemist: Mix function similar to Mudras.

1 button: Basic upgraded heal

2 buttons combo: High powered ST heal or aoe heal

3 buttons combo: heal over time circle, A boss debuff, or raid wide buff

Just spitballing the 3 button thing.

To be honest chemist is one of the few cases I see put out there that doesn’t just step all over the toes of healing classes already implemented. It’s like the people who want Geomancer healer or Time Mage. Both of those classes would be great in the game, but I think thematically are too similar to sit in the healer roster.

Which might be why some of Healers either had their abilities changed (aero, stone) or removed outright (time dilation)

Fingers crossed for that! (But for a dps role)

There comes a point where I will have to grab the pitchforks and torches if they remove even more stuff from WHM just to give it to other healers. I have had quite enough of that.

Why not Green Mage, who specializes in buffs and debuffs with small heals as a secondary effect?

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

Even so, I see no reason to leave the 3 original classes gutted and simplified just to create a "new" (read: reused) spin on... yet another homogeneous toolkit.

There is plenty of room for both Time Mage and Oracle elements on the purportedly 'time-space diviner'. There is room enough for both interesting pet uses and shields on SCH. There is room enough for both druidic and white magics on White Mage. They just have to stop "streamlining" healers down to only the barest of thematic components.

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

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