Why? I like to have control of the battle. Sure you're tank and DPS may be necessary for any battle, but in the tough fights, they can't last forever and that's where a healer is needed. A well timed Protect/Bravery spell can turn the tides of a hopeless battle, and the clutch heals at the last second are so satisfying.

I get the idea behind being the burly tank taking all the hits and why people prefer roles like that, but support class is for me.
One of the reasons I don't enjoy being a healer is because I feel like its too much pressure. I'll do it in traditional turn battles like FFIX obviously, but in games like Tales and Xillia and Xenoblade, I'm just too worried about falling behind on such an important role. I find healers to be very necessary to the battle

So I mostly prefer either upclose and quick attackers (Leia in Xillia) or further away black mage types
