Lancers are... ?

[Alcide]

I've always loved this class since the first time I played it, I thought it was a decent DD but also an awsome buffer/debuffer and with the whole cross class "feel free to do whatever you want" thing it would have been an amazing class with lots of totally different builds, for exemple I would have loved to try a Lancer/Thaumaturge build.

Clearely I failed ^^' as all of the high ranked lancers know we are nothing more then a normal DD. At the current state of the game you could try to assemble a different build, but I really doubt someone would ever want you in party (also I really doubt you would be helpful at all, but I might be wrong)

So when each class will have its designed role what do you think we're gonna be? DD? Buffer/Debuffer? Something in betwen that can be switched anytime and still be effective both ways?
