Just because you get no use from a buff/debuff ability/spell from your job doesn't somehow negate it's a support ability either. Bard literally gets nothing out of Foe's, much like Ninja gets nothing out of Goad. Is Foe not a supportive ability now? Most of you people arguing aren't even thinking through your arguments, you're just throwing everything and anything hoping something will stick.

There are numerous ways to curb job stacking in a more healthy manner than mutilating the capabilities of jobs because you refuse to put a support role into the game. We already saw an answer to this back in 2.1.
