as for your idea of gving DoM two jobs. i bet this was looked into. and then decided it would be unfair to give any class two jobs when all other only get one. best to piss off one group of ppl, archers. than all the DoW class
See this ^^ makes sense, has logic, and applies to the rules of how this will work, set by the devs.

ARC = RNG
PUG = MNK




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. (good lord this is getting old telling you this but they have these, they are called BLM and ARC)
This ^^ is pretend fantansy that changes the rules to fit there needs. One job per class for the first round. It not that complicated.

Archers job in the first round of jobs will be Bard. Its rather comical how you post so much fiction with so much intent as if in some warped way you expect to magically and unrealistically change the facts.
