Understandable, but I could see 1 support role in each party which could essentially empower the 3 other dps in the group to increase their damage significantly, or apply vulnerabilities to the boss, etc. A support job could even synergize with other jobs with their skills, such as having the ability to empower ninjutsu of ninjas, empower the jumps of dragoons, etc. I know it would require some balancing and job tweaks, but I personally would find it more interesting.
