what's everyone thinking about the old board in ffx?
if i remember right u could just choose different path for character customization (please forgive me if i spelled that wrong or if that word doesn't excist).

there could be different paths leading to other things.

example: red mage

earth path:

different tiers, u can only select 1 spell/ability per tier but u can swap between the sub paths (marked as sub tiers)

earth magic path:
offensive Elemental path
sub tier1: stone V
sub tier2: earth offensive magic acc+
sub tier3: earth magic attack bonus+
sub tier4: earth magic crit rate+
sub tier5: Stone VI

enfeebling path:
sub tier1: slow III
sub tier2: earth enfeebling magic macc+
sub tier3: earth enfeebling magic potency+
sub tier4: an ability that break can`t be broken by damage, increases duration
sub tier5: stop

enhancing path:
sub tier1: enearthga
sub tier2: earth enhancing magic potency+
sub tier3: earth-based magic cast time-
sub tier4: enhances duration of earth based enhancing magic
sub tier5: enearthga II

melee path:
sub tier1: new earth based ws
sub tier2: increases earth based ws dmg
sub tier3: increases earth based ws acc
sub tier4: adds critical hits to earth based ws
sub tier5: new earth based (AoE ws?)

now u can build as example a complete offensive earth magic based path or u build:
sub tier1: enearthga
sub tier2: earth elemental magic acc+
sub tier3: earth enfeebling magic potency+
sub tier4: earth magic crit rate+
sub tier5: stone VI

there would be 2 ways this could be done, either u can decide to do 1 path or u could build all elemental paths up to sub tier5.

for paladin i.e. could it be seperated in:
healing magic spells/abilitys
def skills
offensive skills
enhancing skills.
hate holding skills.

guess this would be a good way to customize the character.would be nice to get some feedback

Edit:
SE would need to adjust the resistances and actually make them work for a big difference in spells
