Support Classes/Jobs (Looking at BRD)

[Betelgeuzah]

Now will BRDs buffs be SO good, that all end game enemies Require BRD? So one of us has to play something they don't enjoy?

Obviously not, but if you only play whatever you want the community will not be as eager to let you participate.

It is very common that tanks are the most wanted of the archetypes, while dps are less so. You can get by, but it will be harder to prove yourself.

As far as ARC turning BRD goes, the ranged DPS concept doesn't work and needs to be changed. Those it affects simply need to deal with it one way or the other. The game balance it at stake.

Having just one class with a powerful, game-changing buff or skill is poor design.

One class or 5 classes, there won't be any more of those who prefer playing the archetype. At best, it comes down to preferences. "Do I want to look like a Ninja while I tank or a Paladin?" Diversity can be a refreshing thing but it's by no means a requirement. The game could get by with 3 classes for each archetype easily.
