I think its hard enough to get a foothold as a COR into the DD scene, that making something that turns us into BRD 2.0, would kill the job for me.

I've always played COR as a hybrid support DD job. If they gave us a gun that was crap for DD but gave MP/enfeebling QD/cure pot or whatever some people envision this jobs roll, I'd likely have to quit. Seeing "Support gun COR onry" requests (and you know that would happen given JP love of COR/WHM playstyle) would be unpalatable.

I'm fine if others want to play COR that way. But I don't want to be pidgeon holed anymore than COR already is. The nice thing about COR has always been that no one really cared what subjob you came as. They just wanted your buffs and you could choose to support the party beyond that in any way you though was best. At times that was as COR/WHM, but often /DNC, /RNG, /WAR, /SAM would work out just as well.
