It's simply retard... it is true that bards in other rpg often are bow 'n arrow users... but you can't deny that in ffxiv archer is just an heavy dps, it doesn't suit any other role. Archer is not a tank, not an off tank, not a mage, not a debuffer, not a buffer. So it simply doesn't make any sense to evolve it in a support class. o.O

Ok, I know it's to late to whine about it now and nothing can be done to change things at this point... but seriously if SE is interested in our feedback these are my 2 cents.

P.S.
Fear and Coglin's logic... my daily heroes *facepalm*
