I don't want the devs to give up on Chemist

[Sairys]

Could have it play as a ranged DPS, use the Mudra System, and allow them to apply salves or whatever to boost healing, damage, etc.

Eh, mix is really about taking two things and putting them together to get an effect. It's actually closer to a really flexible two step combo system.

That said... we already have that kind of mechanic within DPS and its not like it'd be difficult to make Chemist a DPS. But making it a healer means getting that sort of mechanic in a completely different role, also making Chemists a dps would also make them compete with other potential dps jobs on everyones wish lists.
