Thanks for the feedback ^^/ I don't think I added it to the OP, but I know I did for the PvP, but overall every regimen started would grant the Player a "Special Instant Reraise Effect(instant Reraise upon being K.O.'d, and all HP/MP is restored with no weakness).
Just added a cool Defensive skill up regimen concept above ^^

Much like crafting skills, combat skills are one of the major differences from player to player. The level of your skill showed how much effort you put into fighting things that wanted to make you die.
I've got no problem with them adjusting the rate at which we get skills to kinda compensate for the speed we get exp now, (I was surprised when I came back after a year or so, and netted 500 exp in a few minutes punching easy prey to death) but sitting in town and skilling up effortlessly seems like another hand out for the lv 90 players that don't know how to play the game that I keep hearing about lately.

^^ If it wasn't an important request for something that's truly needed for this beloved game, I wouldn't invest the time :) Plus... normally I would be playing FFXI ^^; which would also reduce my time for this lol.

The smirk on her face is perfect.

I love this Idea. Reason being is cause when level sync came along, skills became a thing of the past. With Abyssea now, any1 and every1 can be great at any job. To me, this idea sounds like something that would allow player(like me) that dont have a lot of time to play or make gil or really do anything, the chance to get a lot more done with the time they have. This also seems to want to make a player know what his job can do and how it functions properly. Plus with the skill up option, level sync pt's wouldn't be that much of a problem.
