Okay I am not sure how a dps healer came into the picture but let me do some clarification I guess or at least clarify to the best of my ability. First of all again I believe I said in my first post a support class the focuses on buffing and enhancing party combat ability/defenses while debuffing/debilitating enemies would be a class I would love to try out. The way I see it, the amount of damage a party will take will be reduced to a notable degree with the right skills and rotation of such a support class, if such a class was coupled with a healer it would reduce the burden a healer may face at times in managing party health and leave them with an ample amount of mp no matter the situation. Also considering the party will be dealing more damage due to a supports buffs battles "should" end more quickly further reducing the overall damage a party takes in the course of a battle. Now of course the support class does need to do some kind of damage but nothing that deals out an abundant amount of damage over time, this comes in the form of the debilitation the class can cast and is just something that is more or less for level progression rather than legitimate dps. To further clarify such a debilitation would be that the enemy takes a certain amount of damage each time they either auto attack or use a skill is a viable support skill that would would work wonders in many battles. As far as healing is concerned since the class is support it will have some sort of healing but nothing as effective as a whm and what not, and to be honest the healing it would be doing would only be effective if the class is being used properly since it would heal taking into account the party has been optimized by your buffs and the enemies have been debuffed/debilitated appropriately, only then would a support classes heal really be effective. Now I do agree that IDK where such a class would fit in a 4 man party if any but I see the viability of such a class in 8 and 24 man raids. There we go, I think i made sense in all of that and if i didnt i am sorry but again I am not talking about a dps healer, I am talking about a class that focuses on making the party stronger and the enemies weaker making overall battles smoother.
