If you are a [JOB] without [Ability], you are holding back your team at endgame

[Jayded]

cool thing about being a blm is we only have like 1 useful cross class skill and it's like lvl 2 hahah...shame our job skills are just as lackluster

be glad you have something to look forward to or work towards.

I am a paladin. I feel a few Marauder skills come in use for me such as the 20% defensive buff one, the skill that causes "bleeding", and the "life steal skill". I think the Pugulist has a skill that restores 20% of his HP that would be useful for me as well.

As Skairth pointed out, SCH need to get CNJ to 34 and THM to 26 to get Stone Skin and Swift cast.
A WHM will need to get THM to 26 for Swiftcast and ACN to 34 for umm... Eye for an Eye? (even I don't use this often).
A MNK will need to get MRD to 26 for Mercy Strike and DRG to 34 Blood for Blood.
A DRG will need to get MRD to 26 for Mercy Strike and PGL to 12 for Internal Release.

BRD need to get DRG to 34 for Blood for Blood
SCH, SMN and WHM need to get THM to 26 for Swift cast.
WAR need to get GLD to 22 for Provoke

If you do not have those, then you do NOT have finished leveling your character. While it does not matter for AK, it is mandatory for every 8 man content.

I'm actually slowly leveling all my classes simultaneously for those cross-class skills, but that's just because I enjoy having all those abilities available to me. Seeing those empty additional skill slots in my Actions & Traits window bothers me, haha.

It is quite boring leveling THM, CNJ, and ACN all at the same time, though.

[Skies]

You definitely need PGL to 12 for Internal Release for Dragoon and prefferably to 42 for Mantra.
Mantra is amazingly useful because, despite what some bad healers would like to tell you, it's impossible to avoid all damage as a DD (later fights have explicit mechanics that do so, such as AV's goldlung, Titan's mapwide AoE, Ifrit's knockback pulse, etc) so you need to be sure to ensure your own survivability. Things such as Mantra and Chakra are both amazing since they are survival tools that you do in fact need.

Warrior cant use Cure because its not from MRD, GLD, or PGL. Best it can use is secondwind but it has a long cooldown.

This further proves warriors are not as good as paladin. Cure or gtfo!! Switch to Marauder then if you have to!!!

Seriously, this is eventually going to turn into "You don't have all jobs maxed? Sorry you can't come with us, we need people experienced in all jobs even though we only need one job. You have to have the experience or you hold everyone back you filthy casual!!"

BRD need to get DRG to 34 for Blood for Blood
SCH, SMN and WHM need to get THM to 26 for Swift cast.
WAR need to get GLD to 22 for Provoke

Thank you for completing the list. I haven't dabbled enough with MRD/GLD/ARC, much less their jobs, to establish what the necessary cross-skills were.

This made me laugh. It is only an issue because people are making it an issue. As posted in another thread, a WHM has completed all HM Primals without having Swiftcast, and I personally know one that has done it too. I also know a lot of DPS that haven't fully optimized their characters, and are either clearing, or cleared the HM Primals. If we were talking Bahamut's Coil it would be a different story, but some how I doubt we are.

[Lasteran]

So true! Do a pro check on the tank next time your in a dungeon. If they dont have cure they arent pro

Yeah...a Paladin with 4000+ hp who equips more marauder defensives instead of a 200hp Cure is definitely not pro.

[LunarEmerald]

With FATE grinding you can get to 26 in a day.

[RavenL]

Every job should have cure, because if people are losing life and you are not able to heal them, you are holding your team back.

My BLM can't use cure but CAN use Physick which is strange since they are basically the same healing spell.
