Charge VS Beserk

[NetNomad]

I said "support" in its broadest meaning. Razonde/Rafoie on Lilies to prevent them from spitting Megid is part of the support a Force must do.

Believe me, Jarl, there aren't many times when a Force has no support left to do (well, except in easy areas). Forces who cast S/D, J/Z and then start whacking at monsters without regard for the team are the worst kind.
Your team is more important than yourself (that goes for any class, too), if you fail to understand that, you are not qualified to go in a multiplayer game.

A melee FOmar with Resta Merge can cast all support except anti at x2 range, and so if you put rabarta and gi/razonde somewhere on your action pallet, you have the means to freeze and the means to stun as well as provide adequate support techniques from a variety of positions around the room (leaving you the option to do melee damage while you watch the party). I'd agree with you on the point that FOs who pretend they can do awesome damage (legitimately) are fools. But "rarely having no support left to do"?

Ok, obviously there are places where you need to pay attention to enemies that need to be stunned; if you're in EN4 for example and you have a non-droid getting ganged up on by Delsabers, you'd need to stun them. A quick gi/razonde would solve that problem long enough for someone else to get some damage in (or a longer-lasting stun solution such as a droid coming along and releasing a freeze trap). But there are plenty of other stunning options - particularly for rangers (needles) and droids (traps). HUmar and HUnewearl are about the only classes who I'd say might have a significant problem with stunning, but then they can use gi/razonde themselves.

I'm not saying stunning isn't part of a FO's support role, but I've not had many situations where I had to pay very close attention to stunning.

But, then, you mentioned "easy areas," which my FOs are more or less confined to at this point due to their levels (I love how you conveniently forget that, for most of us, the game starts well before level 160 and constant EN/PW4 runs ).
