New Role, Support Classes

[Meowneko]

I know this question isn't really related but is it possible to be both support and support dps if I would to go SCH + BRD?

I'm not going to lie but the idea of having a buff class that increases all stats at a certain level would be a great addition but I don't know if it feels.. like part of the FF lore or whatever. But I could be wrong. I'm not exactly sure if people really want to just stand there and buff people.

That's exactly what I tried to do. SCH is a fantastic support and pretty great heals as well, especially when paired with a WHM. BRD, however, is a one trick pony. The only useful "support" we have is Mage's Ballad, and in some very specific situations Foe Requiem. On top of that, our DPS is pretty bad as well. We do have mobility, which is nice, but doesn't really offset the drawbacks except in a few specific fights (Titan/HM/EX, T1). The Ballad is nearly required for a few fights at least, so we still have a place for now.
