Random Query: The Trinity System

[Soralis]

trinity for sure, i don't like games without it, especially gw2 or blade and soul, as much as i wanted to like them i just couldn't get past the no healers tanks thing. those games lost all party setup in favor of soloing everything, i can't remember when i talked to someone in those games. i mean mmorpg is for people playing with other people not a solo game. dungeons there are a complete zergfest. In all other ffs we have the trinity system without it there wouldn't be any use for the party. so yes i support trinity system all the way, if they change it and make it more gw2 like i would leave this game.

I dont think "no healers or tanks" is what people meant. What the majority seem to be expressing is the addition of hybrid classes that could fill 1 of 2 different rolls in the Duty Finder. Such as a tank queuing as either DPS or a Tank. People want some classes to have abilities that would allow them to be either role.
Or the other option being the addition of ACTUAL support classes. Thus ADDING to the trinity system classes that can buff or aid in crowd-control or just generally support the party. They would not necessarily be deemed a DPS class as their dmg output would be far lesser, but the utility they'd bring to the party would make them a unique addition and sought after role in a party. So instead of having the current Duty Finder party of "1 tank, 1 heal, 2 DPS", you could have 1 tank, 1 healer, 2 DPS AND 1 support class OR 1 tank, 1 healer, 1 DPS and 1 Support class.

For an example of this, look at FFXI. They had tanks, healers, and DPS, but they also had support classes with jobs things like Corsair, and Bard. Those classes didnt do much damage on their own, but their unique support abilities brought much needed utility to the party. For example, they had things like exp points buffs, haste, regens and stat buffs, debuffing of enemies (slow, poisons, etc), sleep spells, bind spells, etc. Certain classes have buffs like this in XIV, but its usually just one or two supportive abilities per class (BRD mana/foe song, DRG's Battle Litany, BLM's Lethargy, etc). We'd like to see some job(s) implemented that take a variety of these abilities and put them into one single job and add another role (support class) to the Duty Finder making the new DF light party "Tank, Healer, DPS & Support".
