When I read the mentioning of melee in the description I thought.. that reminds me of something.Healer, a healer who can stand up in melee and will let players experience a "new healing style
From Warhammer online there's a class called Disciple of Khaine. They focused on melee healing. You hit a foe and whatever friendly target you have selected they get healed.
They want to create a new type of healer? I'm betting they will have one similar to one already in Warhammer. When I looked at the chi bar it also reminded me of the system used for another healing class in Warhammer online; Using healing boosted offense, using offense boosted healing on next cast.
Just thought I'd share that.
