True Support Class even possible...

[Peptaru]

In it's state now, I don't think that bards can be considered support class.

Say for example, a support class deals 80% the damage of a true dps class. between, the tank, the healer and the DPS. A support class would be required to add another 20% DPS. Of course, the overall capabilities of a party is not restricted to damage dealing, as such, a support class could also buff the party in other ways.

That is what bards do now . . . how are they not support?
