Break the Trinity System Please

[Animarelic]

The Trinity System is in place to give the Jobs a "Purpose". If they can all do the same thing to a degree it removes the effectiveness of what they bring to the table and creates boring run of the mil Jobs. It also dumbs down the overall experience of content if you can Zerg your way through it. The only reason this trinity system is lacking right now is because of the small selection of Jobs they have to offer. If they add more diversity then people will complain less.

TLDR; If all jobs can do the same thing they will still adhere to the trinity system which is Tank, DPS, Buff & Heal.

Why break what works really well? And you can PF any random mix and do stuff. All WHM and all SMN parties have been documented to have cleared some tough trials and dungeons.

I enjoy the trinity system. It keeps everything fairly streamlined and allows for faster queue times. Breaking this system would result in 4 - 8 randoms jobs being thrown together for what would end up being an extremely unpleasant experience. I would much rather see support classes fall into the existing categories. Bard is an excellent example of this. They do damage while being able to support their allies via ballads.

Brd needs to be expanded is the issue, I hope we see it as levels go up. Right now I would not call brd a support class. And I would put money on anyone from any other mmo calling it a DPS/DD class.

Give us
Defense + Songs
Attack + Songs
Skill Speed + Songs
Spell Speed + Songs

Hell non-regenerative songs can burn massive amount of mp so if they keep that up the whole party gets a 20-25sec dmg buff but all the mages mp is burned away.

I guess it would be possible to broaden what we have. But then you end up with an overpowered DD class in the end.

The idea of support classes surely is nice but they are way more of a headache than they are worth in practice.

Once they design encounters with their support in mind they become mandatory for every raid, similar to WoWs Sunwell back in the day.
Not enough Shadows / Shamans online? Well cancel the raid.

As far as a broken trinity goes: Guild Wars 2 tried that and the content ended up being a horrible zerg fest. No thanks.
