In Rift, 20 man raids support was needed, Bard buffs made a huge difference, plus Chloro buffs. But, with 5 man content where you qued heals, tank, 2xdps plus support, if you qued as support and stayed as support, you would be a detriment, "support" switched to DPS inside. Which would be the exact same in FFXIV if they enforced a support role in dungeons.

Also with Rift, when I was raiding I'd switch souls during the run For trash i'd switch to Tactician, for one boss I'd switch to Assassin, and for others 61 Bard and still pump out respectable DPS whilst maintaining buffs.

To be fair, pure support is a dead system, starting dieing when Mezzers CC abilities got divided amongst other classes.
