Thanks for all the feedback so far guys!

As you can see I changed the colors back to all black since they might have been annoying.

@Merton - Geomancer and Math Mage (or any job SE chooses really) could be subbed in for the examples I gave in the list. The list was just to show how it might work for each job in particular.

@Vangoh and Crystalweapon - I actually agree with you, locking into one spec might be a bit restrictive. I still think its important that you can only be one at a time though, to avoid over-powered combinations and keep the ability to balance the jobs in the game.

If SE is thinking about a new merit point system already, I hope it's something similar to this!
