I wish for new class
There was a topic on old forum of new healing class. It had lost of good ideas. Shall we continue t here?
I suppose we need someone like this gent. Yeah we need a heal with healing beam its the trend in game, why not us? If its gonna be race/gender locked i'll go for casta/male. Preferably in metal gear as it's a combat medic but i guess healers would agree on leather as well. Maybe can have 2 stages: mystic auras or priest buffs (similar to them not exact ones).
Anyway this is from the top of my head.

Regarding new healer classes -- I hope not. Nothing against your idea, it legit sounds interesting, but looking at what happened when BHS tried to balance mystics, and it's pretty obvious that they have no clue about how to juggle two healing classes without making one feel redundant/irrelevant for YEARS at a time. Mystics were overlooked for a long [filtered] time because of how poorly the devs balanced the classes, and now after they've "balanced" mystics all they've managed to do is turn the tables and make priests into the healing class you never really see anymore. There's already a world of discussion to be had about how best to tweak mystic and priest in a way that makes them both unique, viable, and worth playing together and/or separately, so the last thing the devs should do before they've addressed those issues is toss in a third healer class. God knows they'd probably put it in plate gear and let it dish out 3m DPS. Again, not trying to crap on your idea at all, just whenever people mention new healer class for this game I get worried.
and give us new expansion, new level cap, new area
I think the problem in the end will be -again- the type of players the game is attracting, it seems most young players just want to log in and win easy and fast, the last thing they care about is playing as a team, unfortunately for them, even if NPCs and quests tell you you're the main character, end game content is not like that.
A few days ago a lowbie brawler was asking stuff in global, at some point he just said he wasn't interested in PvE and since we were in a PvP server that seemed normal. The conversation went on and when he found out there isn't a solo-ranking system in Tera he started b*tching about how he wanted to be "the very best" and not depend on others, the guy even said he was platinum tier in LoL and he always carried his team and such... that's the kind of player that's been joining massively to Tera since the Steam launch (I hope those are at least spending money in the game before they leave).
I guess that's the reason we still see raher few PvE tanks in the game despite the existance of brawlers, playing tanks and support classes requires people with certain mentality, but players with such mindset don't seem to be the majority.
By the way i've seen the release of broken new stuff in almost every f2p game, probably to encourage people to spend money on shiniesnfor they're fotm character.
The difference here is that usually in other games they keep new stuf f broken for a short time and then nerf it, here the nerfing hammer looks rather slow. But feom what i can understand it's coming a huge rebalance.
What i cannot still understand is if it's going to be an actuql rebalance or just a massive increase of power creep in tera.
It would be a two-handed spear weapon, and leather armor.
It might happen sooner than you think. Dakuryon's Imperator form is a good example of the class and the animations that may be involved.
Mystics can do some dps now and all that is mashing two buttons repeatedly. I for one absolutely hate dpsing on my healers, I find it rather boring and against what the class is supposed to do -you know, heal people.
But to be honest, I'm worried about how bhs will handle a dps-healer too. Look what happened the last time they made a class that isn't supposed to dps, dps. *cough*brawler*cough*. A tank that outdps's actual dps classes! If bhs ever makes a dps-healer we may see the day where party comps are brawler and x4 new dps-healer.
edit: also dps-healer in plate armor? lol............. throw in a cheat death passive too while you're at it
oh what makes you believe 'medic' is dps? o.O
