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

Apparently not. Personally I feel they should have just removed the Sects in Stormblood (since they had always been the source of why AST couldn't be balanced properly) and then they wouldn't have had to do so much work now.

I don't want to see the sects removed. They are part of the astrologian's core identity.

If there is going to be a rework, I'd like a new job mechanic which requires the player to switch back and forth between the two sects. Call it the Balance of Libra or something like that.

We wanted dancer to be a healer as well but here we are.

'eh.

I don't remember anyone being all that put out when it was revealed dancer was going to be a damage dealer. Same as when samurai were revealed they were going to be a damage dealer instead of a tank. No one really complained.

However, I do think people will be annoyed if it was revealed chemist are going to yet another damage dealer. I mean, why? What's the point?

We don't need any more damage dealers. Nor do we need any more tanks or healers.

The only place in FFXIV for chemists, geomancers, and the other classes from prior FF games are as limited jobs.

In spite of all the distaste people have expressed about limited jobs on the forums, I personally feel there is a lot fertile ground here. But, Square Enix would need to step up in their efforts to make it work.

There would need to be enough content for those classes to enjoy and the limited jobs would need to stay true to their identity. No more butchering a job in the name of game balance! Let the limited jobs shine in there own place in FFXIV and leave the class balance to the non-limited jobs.
