    hell, why stop at passive astrodyne? every healer gets divination! every healer gets afflatus misery with no strings attached (except WHM who still has to use their gauge)! everyone gets a bara fairy that flexes to heal everyone to full every 5 seconds! every healer gets a kardia, and if they so much as sneeze the tank gets 100% healed and given a 200% shield 5 times over!
    I would hate to disturb your delicate stomach so [TRIGGER WARNING] there is at least one game that I have played in which the support class had a selection of buffs to pick from and then be active unless toggled off. That design allowed the class to be able to juggle healing and a selection of DPS skills which made it both fun and useful to any group, whether it had melee, ranged or needed extra help in heals.

    oh trust me it was said mostly in jest, but that setup does sound pretty fun actually! though i do have to ask if there were other support classes with it and they all had their own identities as well.

    In the one game that I'm thinking of that was unique to that class, and it was a melee support class, which we don't have in FFXIV - using a staff for a weapon.

    There were two other support classes, each with their own unique identities, one being was very close to a white mage, but imagine a white mage that had a skill tree , so if it wasn't in healing spec (as the only choice for FFXIV WHM), that class could also trade out for DPS skills at the cost of most of its healing skills- leaving it at about (when geared) at 75-80% of a DPS class.
