If you really want to know, CNJ would have never had nukes those would have went to THM from the get go to start out. Then it would have followed this.

GLD=PLD
MRD=WAR
CNJ=WHM & BRD
THM= BLM & DRK
ARC = RNG
PUG = MNK

i wonder if you agree there is too many DD's in the game. i'm guessing they feel they need a support class/job urgently and its something that can't wait. for the new jobs already they have to create new quests, gear, lore, abilitie's(probally). this would take time and a job is not as big as a class, to create a new class would take a lot more work than to create a job. so if they need a support class/job quick the best time for it to come in is with the jobs. if they have to many DDs one DD was going to lose out. bard is ranged archer is ranged. and thus we have this. strange i expected this rukus over the mages getting black and white more than the bard
Lets not put words in my mouth, the game has a support class. Its THM with the recent nerfs to put CNJ in front runner on healing.

Bards do use a range weapon no argument there.

Do I feel like we have to many DD? Not at all.

I just don't feel like everything is black and white, and I know there are people out there that like the role of a range heavy DD without having to do buffs.
