Healers are a flawed concept by nature because who the gently caress wants to do nothing but help other people survive beating poo poo up? Everyone wants to be in the fray punching/shooting/slicing/making GBS threads on/mauling things.

I'd rather see a healer with a two handed club whose method of preventing damage to you is hitting you out of the way so you only take his club damage.
I've heard and had a lot of good ideas but none have been as completely flawless as this one

Basically I want a Monster Hunter MMO that is less embarrassing than Tera.
Tera would be decent if there weren't so many ridiculously long treks through empty spaces, and also if the entire cast of characters (barring the rock men and pug-midgets) weren't anime titties-on-a-stick.

Just make a Dark Souls mmo.

You can build however you want but there's gonna be pretty severe penalties and trade-offs if you want to do something weird until you get to a super high level and have a fuckload of stats to support it.

This made me realize another flaw of MMOs that boils down to "it's tradition!"

PvP sucks. Not every motherfucking MMO needs a PvP area. So make players able to unbalance themselves however they wish. No classes, just a massive skill tree that you can reset every 24 hours and rebuild until you find the combination of healing/single-target/crowd control that suits you.

isn't this The Secret World

Oh yeah. The game that is, on paper, flawless, but has nowhere near enough content to hold itself up.

Welp. drat.
