DNC feels weak/stops progress

you forgot ninja.

My bad, for attempting to keep my post on the shorter side, to an extend where it was unclear why I highlightet only two out of all available jobs. I'll elaborate a bit more on that matter then!
I'm aware of other classes having support oriented actions like Trick Attack. When refering to support jobs I mean jobs that actively have to do things for giving benefits to party members - like executing a dance combination, or drawing/playing cards. In short: Mechanics that are more complex than just pressing a single button. This is why personally I do not consider other jobs as support. I am aware how they can be legitimately seen as such from different perspectives though, and I won't disagree since not everybody sees 'support' as the same thing.

It is less powerful overall, which makes sense given its buffs. I like that they have given us Standard and Technical finish to stop it from feeling weak because you can deliver huge hits with them. It becomes about how you weave your fan dances between your normal DPS moves as an oGCD and making sure to take advantage of the damage your finishes give you and not just using it as a buff as MOZZY says (and I see a lot of people who do this). I think Closed Position also works on NPC's, I've been throwing it their way anyway.
