Play a proper support class correctly and they can be just as challenging and rewarding as any other position.
Well, it sort of depends on how they set it up. I guess if they made it a complex rotation of sorts to keep certain buffs & debuffs up to the point where it was somewhat challenging to keep them all up during the fight while dodging/whatever as part of the normal fight mechanics, then maybe. But alot of what support has been historically is "is the buff or debuff down or about to go down? refresh" and there is less skill because it's something you can constantly plan for and just go through your buff/debuff rotation. Every other job is reactive in some way, which is where the "skill" comes from.
