Support is spread out across nearly all jobs. A little slow here, a little protect there. I find that a lot more useful than a designated support class (and remember that cross-classing allows a person to specialize more in support by picking up those support skills). The way it is set up you can have 8 people run into a room and in three turns bang out 12 buff/debuff skills. Insofar as debuffs go, I'm very satisfied.

I only wish we had more pre-game buffs like protect to pass around. Maybe they'll add those in with a new level cap or additional jobs. Anyone else hopeful that the two jobs for one class thing is going to get passed around beyond Arcanist?
