What happens if you lose a specialist? Heh thats the name of the game dude...how many rpgs have you played? I been playing them for years and you have to learn how to adapt and how to manage a party. Protection to the healer is number 1, i mean wow...i just cant get over the mentality i see now a days when it comes to stuff like this.
How exactly do you go about protecting the healer? Monsters are set on a Gambit system. Typically it is to kill the weakest character first, more often than not the healer is the weakest character. The only way to stop a Gambit, as far as I can tell, is to use the spell Decoy. Decoy doesn't always work, sometimes it misses, therefore making it pretty ineffectual in the run of things.

I don't use character classes. Some of my characters are more focused on certain aspects and skills, sure, but they generally run pretty equal to each other. It works for me.

P.S. Get off your high horse. Just because you've had a longer run with video games, does not mean you understand the meaning behind them any better than the rest of us do. And don't assume things.
