Tank Roles, DPS Roles, Healer Roles... No Support Roles?

[Iwazaru]

I'm personally planning on possibly playing smn as a supportish role (rouse w/ physick spam + eye for an eye if healer needs help/surecast titan if tank goes down/virus on boss during big incoming damage/etc.) all that mixed with the 20% chance of increasing spell speed by 20% for 8 seconds when pet crits should make smn a worthy support role if played right (which I plan to do!).

Bard however I've heard their support has been nerfed, and their damage has been buffed, however their MP regen sounds like something that would really help out if needed and rain of death/army's paeon are some interesting skills that are definitely support, but rain of death is also a decent aoe it seems so it's kind of half and half. I'm not sure how bard curing is going to work but in theory it sounds ridiculously bad, due to having 0 mnd and no cure potency increases/cast speed increases (like smn has) so I don't see a reason to get it especially since you have no MP regening abilities.

Edit : Well my posts for the "day" won't reset, it's been like 2 days and I still can't make a new one....this forum system sucks.

Anyways, my smn theory is down the drain, rouse isn't what I thought it was so I guess the class closest to full support would be a brd now....no idea what class I'm going to play instead of smn though, maybe a sch even though everyone and their mother is rolling one right now >_<;.
