Sometimes the best seat for a fight is to be the healer of the hero. Not having to get so close that you are in danger, bit close enough that you can help the main fighter or the party of fighters that are currently fighting. It's not always the best job to have because of the the thought, "I have attacking potential too!" but you always know that the best way to be helpful in their case is to stay back and, well support them. We usually get neglected for raw power, but you never know when you'll need support.
