    You do realize if us BRDs were given a DPS LB, that there would be literally no point in bringing MNK or DRG? We have the easiest positioning/movement mechanics during dungeons/HM encounters and our support mechanics are always good especially with a fellow WHM. Thus, we don't really need heals (assuming that BRD is a decent player), and can pull out great burst and letting our heals literally only heal the tank(s).

    What SE really needs to do, is integrate a way to prevent more than 2 of the of the same job entering 8 man DF's. Saying BRDs should just get a DPS LB doesn't really solve the problem, in fact it creates more.

    SMN and BLM get DPS limit breaks too, AOE, so there must currently be no reason to bring MNK or DRG according to you.

    True that they cant leave BRD with healer LB's, because when they do add msk or any other ranged dps class that isn't a finger wiggler, it will be awkward and stupid for them to have healing LB's. Ranger especially better have a sweet LB like Ultimate Arrow Shock Wave or something, not a Revive.

    BLM and SMN aren't support, BRD is a support class, Archer flows into Bard because that's how it is in many western MMOs and a few Korean MMOs - They have a support limit break even if they're DPS.

    Wouldn't be a problem if they stuck with the XI style Bard in the way it was an obvious support role so there would be no confusion or "demands" to change it's support nature in any way.

    They'll have Braver, Blade dance and Final Heaven like every other DPS

    There is no such thing as support classes/jobs in ARR. BRD is DPS, and just so happens to queue in duty finder as such.
