2. I went with Spiritualist because I was inspired by the IRL Spiritualism movement from back in the day.

3. Their single-target spell "combo" is based off of Will-o-the-Wisps (Ignis Fatuus is the Latin name for them).

4. I played around with the idea of the Spirit pet you summon being just a DoT and all the abilities that use Legion stacks being just normal abilities you use but I felt that the Spirit using them was more appropriate from a thematic standpoint.

5. I would be down for a light-based DPS.
Yeah none of it's terrible. Aside from the fact that all of our healers are very euro-centric, and it would be nice to have more variety on that front. And while there are eastern candle-burning spiritualists, I wouldn't want to tamper with your job concept because it is clearly looking to satisfy a specifically western spiritualism job fantasy.

Still, I'm not opposed to it since it does seem to fill a niche people have been wanting in a way that actually brings something new(-ish) to the table.

also, looking over this job, it really looks like it wouldn't be any more engaging than any of the current healers and that is really the biggest problem that we have. sure it's goth and has a pet, but it looks like after a week or two with it, the shiny new job wears off.
Yeah, although I wouldn't mind if a new healer came alongside a healing job overhaul.

Personally, I would prefer a more Yuna Monk Spade type vibe to a necro healer. But I have to admit that this concept works quite well and has an unused/unique weapon niche.
