New Role, Support Classes

[Zantetsuken]

I seriously hope they add support roles... as Jobs, not Classes.

All Classes should be able to DPS, but Jobs should either sacrifice or enhance DPS for specialization.

How it could be done:

Archer [Class]

• Bard [Support Job] Loses "Rain of Death" and gain the song "Valor Minuet" which boosts party Determination within a radius (like Moogle Bard). Traits: 'Enhanced Swift Song' adds bonus party Skill Speed and Spell Speed (like SCH 'Fey Glow/Light') -- I think BRD would need the ability to run multiple songs at once.
• Ranger [DPS Job] Gains "Rain of Death" and 4 other ranged DPS abilities.

The same could be done other classes:
Conjurer [Class]> White Mage [Healing Job], Geomancer [Support Job]
Arcanist [Class] > Summoner [DPS Job], Scholar [Healing Job], Time Mage [Support Job]
Scout [Class] > Thief [DPS job], Dancer [Support Job]

Regardless of how Support roles are added, the Tank/Heal/Dps system is FAR too limiting for a FF game and it just means more of the same for years to come unless they change it.
