How about a non-support ranged dps?

I don't see why having a melee healer unable to do nisi or searing wind is a big deal. Isn't the whole point of the game to play multiple jobs? Not every job has to be a good choice for every encounter like how if you have a lot of movement blm is a bad choice, etc. I personally think it would be more fun to play if you had to pick and chose party composition to play optimally rather than anything working anywhere.

Oh I agree with that. After all, if you mained a BRD or MCH or even an AST when Alexander was new in 3.0, you should go play another class because those 3 classes were the laughing stock of raid parties and no one would want to take you in. You're right, it would be a lot more fun if we had to pick who can raid and who got told to go home.
