Can we please give the Healers a second weapon. Because at the moment only the Life staff is skilled with focus. At least the Ice Gauntlet should scale with Focus as secondary, so that the healers have more to do. I can understand why Firestaff isnt skilled with focus because then you would have people with firestaff and lifestaff which would be a bit broken. But the Healers should at least have the Frost Gauntlet.

I can imagine making bow scale mainly with Dex and secondly with Foc.
Also I can imagine it with ice gauntlet.
Other weapons don’t make too much sense.
Also form what I heard, they will implement other weapons later, so maybe something scaling of Foc will hit the game sooner or later.
I would think this was done on purpose. It seems like you can either go all in focus healer or a hybrid healer/dps. Having a strong healer with strong dps would be a little op I think.
Going all in healer isn’t great for Lvling up but you do have the option to respect. What I plan on doing is a hybrid healer/dps for lvling and then go all in healer later in the game. Who knows if that will work though, only time will tell.
I’m hoping they add more. I would like to see a scepter and shield as an option for healers
Awesome Idea!
I totally agree, we need a second weapon as Healer, something with Damage on area(even if it is not much). Why? have you tryed to enter in a cave with multiples enemies and you can only blast with life staff one per time, when you kill the third, the first is respawning. It become Endless.
Options I can see it will work:
-New weapon, Focus only, contains damage in area (Death Staff / Necrotic)
-Ice gauntlet, support weapon but it contains the area effect(Damage with focus on it would be nice). Int and Focus
-Druidic Staff (same thing as ice gauntlet) area effect, but it is green. I can see that working(poison/slow) . Focus only
-Kung Fu Staff Fighting Style like spear with Dex and Focus Area damage on skills (what a theme for expansion, right?) [hire me] 
guys any more ideas?
Just give me date, when my suffer will end, pls. (I know self induced pain, but still)
I believe the leaked void gantlet is going to be FOC based for the secondary state. In the meantime I would strongly suggest the hatchet. You can max out Berserker for additional sustain and pick up Infected Throw from the ranged side which is just an amazing Debuff for PvP. You don’t really need a block mechanic as a healer since your sustain is your defense so turning the hatchet into a throwable provides a great primary melee weapon but also doubles as a good secondary ranged weapon.
Like Qpac said, several source have datamined the void gauntlet, and it did appear during a live stream. As you can see below, it’s supposed to be an intel/focus weapon.
Other supposed weapons are the blunderbuss and the dual daggers.

I could imagine something like a bone wand or a book for black magic. Which would be curses (debuffs), life drain that could heal allies and such stuff.
As for druidic staff, that could summon creatures
I dont like idea of kung-fu in this game, doesnt fit thematicly

The last one is just a theme for an expansion. because we are talking about Navegation age, Lost civilizations, and Asia was one of them.
We really need second healing weapon, i’m not big fan of the staff honestly lel.
Have you heard about the void gauntlet yet?
I’m just leaving that teaser here. If you want to find out more, put it in google/youtube. I don’t want to spoil people without knowing of a spoiler text command in this forum.

I would love to see something like onehanded mace/shield, with some defensive buffs/passive but no so strong healing. Also this way we would able to use shield with something else than a Sword.
Daggers, Blunderbuss and Voidgauntlet are the upcoming weapons at ‘the next holiday season’. I hope they meant Halloween rather than Christmas.
This is 100% intentional. I’m already impossible to kill healing myself for 1100/s. Imagine if I could also hit for 1k+ all other weapons would be meaningless.
Just socket an amber in so that atleast 30% of the weapon damage scales with focus.
With my focus build I can heal, dps, and tank amrine. I could actually solo everything but the bosses at lvl 35.
Right the void gauntlet is coming, hopefully somewhere before the year’s end.
Other ideas which i like for focus weapons are: A mace/shield combo (str/foc), a scepter or wand (int/foc), a book of lore (int/foc), a censer (foc), a potion/poison pouch (foc/int), a banner/standard (foc/str), a war horn or a conquistador-themed instrument (foc/dex).
