There was something rewarding about fitting your character to fill a specific role in FFXI. The ability to change some gear or re-arrange your rotation to fit a different niche within a party to get things done. But, seeing as FFXIV went down the 'dungeon roulette' way we are stuck with 1 Tank 1 Healer and 2 DPS. Where are the support classes? In every MMO I play, support is my go to. Corsair, Bard and Blue Mage from FFXI were so involved that everyone party I was in I would need to re-arrange who/when I had to buff the team.

Why are there no support classes? It seems rigid and non-flexible on a party makeup and individuality.

Increase the difficulty of all monsters/bosses by X amount and add in a 5th slot for a support role? Ofcourse at the moment I play a healer instead and the Astrologian does look like it could be the job i've been looking for. Just wondering what other people think about a lack of a support class and going for a 4 party standard model instead of 5 or 6.
