So, a thought to express exactly where I am on the whole “job fantasy” stance. Summoned and Scholar. Both use the same weapon. Both share the same base class. Both summon and use... I’m not sure what to call their offensive magic, I guess just non elemental.

Even if both of them were DPS or Healers I would not consider them the same “job fantasy”. Whereas to hear you all talk about them they would be the same job just about. Does that give an idea of how very different your opinion is from mine?

So you keep telling us what we have shown in terms of why we think it will be a caster is subjective and they could just change an expansions worth of lore, but what reasoning do you have for it being a healer outside of you just "thinking so"? Because there has been no indication that they would be pushing it in that direction. You are very very vocal about only seeing this class as a healer, but why? Just a gut feeling? I mean I could be remembering this whole thread wrong but rather than say why you want it as healer you have just been telling everyone "No".

That would be like if Paladin hadn't been released yet, and they gave us an expansion's worth of story showing them as tanks and then them throwing it into the game as a melee dps.

If Summoner and Scholar were both Healers, I'd consider them too similar so as to be redundant.

This right here. They work in the game because one is a healer and one is a caster. You are so close to getting where we are coming from on this.
