    This. Gathering and Crafting classes should have been just that.

    That's fine if that's where the dev team wants to take crafters now, and i understand why they would do that. But they have not always been support classes. DOL/DOH used to be talked up as an actual class, that would be able to participate in missions/quests just like their DOM/DOW counterparts, and have abilities that were to be used in battle.

    As i've already posted in this thread before, the role descriptions for blacksmith and miner on finalfantasyxiv.com still detail battle abilities that they were intended to have.

    Yeah, support, it's not going to take down bosses or an empire compared to classes designed for such lol.

    So it's always been more of a support than leading class. Compared to XI they are indeed their own classes (Fisher, Miner, rest of DoH etc.)
