Marks are definitely support. This only works when we give a crap about who we're playing with. If I am thrown to the dogs more than once by the same group, expect the same in return. More than once I have been killed by guards when others more suited stand around...and yeah, I run. I don't run from battles. I will turn and fight, and usually die, but I won't leave my mates.
A marks just can't do well alone. We NEED everyone else. I can hit stuff an awful long ways away, but don't hold up so well when a barb is smacking me around. Mana is an issue, but it is for everyone. I just have to learn to manage it more effectively.
When we are getting farmed by huge gelf presence at samal, it is incredibly easy to start pointing fingers. I have gone repeatedly into battle against huge forces there and died dozens of times at one battle. When there is no cohesion, we all die.
To me, it's not about the weaknesses of the individual classes, or the inability of the players. It's about leadership. I will latch on to an older player and try to do what he or she does. That's how I learn.
When some snooty bitch starts talking about how archers suck, or conjus suck, it just makes me type in /ignore and chalk it up to another spoiled baby that wants to blame everyone else in the world for their own inability to form a cohesive unit.
Of one thing you can usually be sure...when you see an Ignis zerg, there is death coming to someone. When it clicks, it clicks quite nicely. When it doesn't, that same epic zerg will die embarrassingly fast.
It's not about 'you suck' or 'they suck.'
