    The only way we'd see your idea of a DoT-Nuke healer possibly being accepted is if its a brand new one coming out.
    Okay, something to discuss.

    Why...exactly do you think "not now" but that a NEW released healer could do it?

    And I'm not trying to be smarmy and have no tone here, I'm genuinely curious. SGE was just released with this model, so if they just didn't release SGE until 7.0 but released it with this model as "the beginner healer" while upping the complexity of the other three, why would that be better?

    SGE players right now are used to SGE as it is right now, so why would they be averse to it being as it is right now - something that doesn't seem to be bothering people that newly picked up the Job and have no historic attachment to keep them playing it if they don't like it?

    SGE is brand new, it's just a year old.

    And been doing PotD and HoH both on SGE and find it pretty fun. Plegma at a lower level (especially now with the shorter CD and 2 stacks) gets a lot of use when I want to burst or just have another button to push, and I pre-Eu Diagnosis shield myself, so lots of Addersting. If Toxicon was damage neutral, it would probably have the most active solo playstyle other than MAYBE SCH as it is right now.

    I'm kind of curious why (a) you think it staying the same would not work and (b) why you think a brand new Job (presumably with some different aesthetic or something?) would work?

    .

    EDIT: That is:

    Why can no existing healer - all of which currently use a simple model - not maintain a simple model?

    Even the ones (definitely SGE and arguably WHM) who have always had a model like this for their lifetime and have a precedent of having a model like the present one?

    And why would a new Job be allowed to do this? What would be different about a new Job vs the already existing Jobs?

    (And the answer shouldn't be "Well, then no one would have to change away from a Job they currently use", because the change would be forcing people who want simpler gameplay to change to the new Job - why should they be the ones forced to change when SGE, in particular, has always been this way its entire existence?)
