First of all with so many potential options available NONE of us can tell what chanters role will be until closer to release. NCsoft never once said that we are the pure "support" OR "buffer" class. As far as i know it has only been labeled by interpretation. The interpretation could be dead on or soooo far off its not even funny.
Fact is that we have the capability to DPS, Heal, AND buff. How are you going to sit their and say that you know for a fact that its going to be OUR job to heal and buff but dps will be gimp? How do you know this? We are open minded and taking a stab at the hypothetical and logical.... you however are just ranting on about how you believe the class
IS and aren't looking at the facts around you that have surfaced.
I dont know what mmo's you played but i sure am curious. It almost sounds like you are comparing chanter to one class type from a different game because you lack the experience in MMO's to know that there are a lot more possibilities with buff classes than just buff and heal.

Leave the damage dealing to the classes that are meant to do it. Your duty is to keep your party alive, and nothing else. Why is it so hard to understand?

You dont understand. My goal, that few other people will believe is likely, is to get geared up via specializing in stats, stigma stones, enchants and dps set gear if its available until i can crank out enough to fill a dps role.
If you claim that i cannot do this then you are ignorant and close minded.
Reason I would think that is because NONE of us, even the beta testers at this point, know enough to be able to be 100% sure. I am NOT claiming that this is possible.
On the same token... you cant tell me im wrong either.
I'll have to wait until more info is released by beta testers that actually try it.
All we can do is speculate based on previous experiences in other mmo's and what we have from beta.
In other mmo's their are buffers who can either heal extremely well and there are buffers who can DPS extremely well. Their are also buffers who just plain buff and chill.
I would say our dps spells out number our healing spells but all we can do is wait to see how well we can apply them.
Why is it sooo hard to believe that ncsoft has added a potential 2nd healer(WOW imagine that.... 2 healer classes in an mmo) and another type of DPS? all from one platform(chanter) with the ability to focus in any ONE direction.
look at what we have now...
Warrior/gladiator type dps
Assassin/rogue type dps
Ranger/archer/hunter type dps
Caster dps
Summoner/warlock/pet dps
2 choices for melee and 2 choices for casters? it just feels like somethings missing even if it is just release... So many other mmo's offered more choices than just "choose...warrior or rogue". I dont think chanter as a possible focused DPS with buffs can be too far off but like i said who knows.
