Let classes choose their OWN cross class skills (level sync woes)

This goes for all abilities like that, swiftcast etc

It is because only the current class (in your example the CNJ/WHM) get level-synched, while every other classes on the character not. So, you can't use it because the CNJ don't have the level for it. If you are on another class, your CNJ would have the level and you can use the skill on the other class.

I don't even mind the system as it is (though I do agree that it's a little silly, and yes I do understand .why. it's happening)

what I would like is a way of actually making sure that the 'general player' understands it.

the other day I did a toto rak run on my con and the tank was cursing me out for not using stone skin, ranting how I'm doing a lazy a** job expecting the blm (who was actually a thm but that's beside the point) to cast it. I ignored him, because I figured i'd rather concentrate on cleansing the poison from him (arguing in the middle of a boss fight is kind of silly, usually)

after the fight the thm went all 'noob it's a lvl 34 skill she can't use it yet, it's a cross class skill for me. now quit b*tchn and do your job correctly so you won't need stone skin' (paraphrased I don't remember what he said exactly)
