I got an old bomb rework thread that heads in that direction a bit:
Ultimately I think the devs will have bigger fish to fry than bombs for a long while which is why I tried to make the smaller campfire suggestion this time around. Although I agree it’s less fun than an active healing role, that role is gonna suck for a while due to latency. I’m kind of angling for the battle support class to look more like an engineer than a healer now.
