DEV REQUEST: Can we have 5 man dung / 10 man raids in 4.0?

I support 5-man parties if the fifth slot is support. I would roll a pure support class so hard - why couldn't you give me XI BRD, SE!

Cause WoW didn't have support classes is the simple answer.

The games core foundation and system was based of it.

not really.

The simple answer is : "people don't want pure support with 0 dps/tank/heal shiny thingies to throw". Even though I'd kill to be able to play FFT's dancer or bard, I know it's not going to happen.

Also, pratical answer is : "people are too bad nowadays to even grasp the concept of a 100% support role".

They already can't do "simple" jobs like making an enemy not move, healing, or killing stuff as fast as possible (hurr durr bards without DoTs), don't ask them to fill in critical roles that are supports, who constantly need to adapt to the situation in order to give the best buff possible at the right time.


As sad as it sounds, pure support jobs died a few years back, when MMOs started levelling down their gameplay and difficulty to match the worst players's skills.
