Hello! I'm trying to decide what class to play and I was hoping to pick up a few tips. =)

Usually I go with a hybrid type that includes healing abilities. I like being able to survive average gameplay solo, but also to heal, resurrect, or buff random players I come across while adventuring.

In short, I'm looking for a viable solo class that also has options for healing or buffing non-grouped players I happen to stumble across. Usefulness end-game would be helpful too, as I sometimes play with friends. I know that arcanists/conjurers can heal and bards can buff, but I don't know whether bards can buff non-party members or how viable these options are long-term. Additionally, there may be other options entirely which I have missed!

Can anyone who is more knowledgeable about the game help shed some light on the best class and job options given the description above? I need to remake my character on a new world anyway so releveling isn't an issue. Thank you!
