Selfish DPS don’t need their own role, Support need their own role, jobs that shouldn’t be DPS by virtue of the utility they could theoretically bring or in ninja’s case has brought that we’re all removed in service of making it fall in line with everything else.

Ninja has lost so much utility, the ability to apply slashing, the loss of aggro management tools, the loss of trick attack for minute to minute cool down alignment.

The physical ranged would benefit greatly from the addition of a support role and so would Red Mage, a class that aptly considered to be the support of the casters.

Selfish DPS just don’t need to exist, it’s silly to have jobs thats only contribution is that they’re better than everyone else or they’re worthless. It leads to extremely 0 sum balancing where if the vpr/blm/sam and mch aren’t the best class at any given moment. They’re are immediately the worst option. There isn’t in reason we should try and salvage this design principle. It’s blantanly archaic and applies a restrictive noose around class design for no reason than to satisfy people who think hitting hard is something remotely unique.
