Well let me rephrase that - I love playing support classes akin to the EQ Bard. I like being able to do a little of everything and to really rock at some small things, but things that are important. One raid I was on, we tried an event that we hated, I bugged a friend in another raiding guild and snagged the strats from him. We jumped in raring to go when we realized that we only had one chanter left. In response, the bards focused their attentions on mezzing the little buggers. When we go things back under control, a few of stayed around to help with CC while the others went off and did their normal boost damage/stats role. I suppose I like the idea behind most groups not realizing just how beneficial a class can be until they see a decent/good one in action and then actually come to fully appreciate the skills of said class.

My Chase Arcanum (Illusion/Kinetics Controller- about as "support" as you can get) teams with my wife's fire/fire blaster, Cinder Flame. The combination is rather lethal, but when I solo, my battlecry is "Don't make me get my wife...." Don’t look at me.

Aren't we supposed to make sexist jokes about bringing along the wife/girlfriend as a healer? Where is our gaming machismo?

In WoW, my heal-focused priest goes along with my wife's warrior and it works perfectly. A permanent duo has done wonders for my MMO enjoyment level. I hear you on the wife thing.
