Theres atleast one or two more roles i can think of that they could have added into the game; supporter (Leviathan) and debuffer (Shiva).
To be fair, XI summoners weren't allowed to summon until (71?) in groups, and were just WHM's with big mana pools and little heals, only taken when groups were tired of waiting 4 hours for an actual healer. I wouldn't exactly call that a success. Then they were buffed to the point where they'd one shot stuff. Still not good design.
