If the buffs are strong enough then there will always be a huge demand for Chanters regardless of their other abilities. Their ability to heal and buff is a huge benefit and I don't see why you think they should be basically an 'uber class'. I guess you've never really played a strong buff job (if anybody knows of BRD in FFXI you know what I mean) because they are ALWAYS wanted and desired and usually get snatched up super fast and always are busy and having something to do. With the sheer mountain of abilities of chanter and most classes you'll be busy. Though I guess if you or other chanters don't know how to dynamically apply yourself or adapt to changing situations in battle, then the class of chanter would be boring since you'd only do the same ability over and over and sitting.
I've seen buff classes played wrong and people complain they're weak and boring, I've seen them played right and seen how great a party benefits from it. If you wanna go ahead and dps in a party against strong mobs then that's your prerogative but don't say you think the class needs to be changed when A) You haven't played it B) It's not fully balanced/finished C) You don't know how it plays yet and D) You don't have any inkling as to what game balance means or else you wouldn't of posted 80% at all.

I don't know what you're getting so worked up about, he never once said he played the class or that it's finished, or that it NEEDS to be changed. He's just commenting on what he thinks about the direction that Chanters seem to be going.
I do agree that that their main role is to buff though, so I don't expect their heals to be nearly as effective as healing classes. However my impression is that Chanters are advertised as a buffer/damage dealer, and can learn skills that back up that idea, so hopefully they will be able to do both. Of course, I don't expect them to have as much survivability as other damage dealers so you wouldn't be able to just charge into a group of mobs just because you're buffed.
