Just because a class is labeled support doesn't mean at all thats what 100% they're doing all the time.

Am I ignorant for believing the obvious? Ofc you can deal all the damage you want and even become an hybrid buffer and whatnot, but the question is: Are you going to be efficient in both your functions? Some people may be, others may not. And those who can't, usually think they can, and it's really annoying to see them failing on supporting while they are attacking a mob. I guess time will tell...

I can help tanking the same way you can help healing. But for sure people won't ask me to be a support because that's not my function. As a chanter you can help healing and that's more than enough to keep you busy imo. Not to mention that you'll be able to remove debuffs and everything else. Should I mention the fact that by melee attacking you'll pull some agro in mobs, and the Cletic of your party will need to spend extra mana just because you've decided to be a hero? Or should I metion that your mana is already precious for support routines but still, you want to spend it on your attacking skills?
I'm here discussing a class and proving my point. You can keep calling me ignorant and stupid, but that's not the way to go if you want to be heard. If you really need to curse to stand your ground, you kinda pitty me.
