This is really disturbing. For example for dungeons/endgame: Why would we want to bring a Dragoon or Monk or Marauder as damage dealers if the can't even offer the slightest support to the group. Everyone would bring Bards as damage dealers just for that reason, besides the fact that everyone is already bringing Archers now because of the easy damage they do and minor damage they take.
Bard has four songs to sing, all very useful, as well as being able to help heal and/or raise. Considering these factors, Brd won't be a very good DD, when they're spending half the battle keeping up very good buffs. As for "These jobs have no support" Mnk has Sap and Taunt(instant enemies diversion without exception. War has the ability to increase other jobs max HP. Not to mention these will be very strong DD. If you want to bring 5 Bard be my guest. I'll be bring a diverse group of jobs and enjoying myself with my LS.
