Battle Reform Blueprint

and they cant be aoe so you are only able to really self heal
dont forget that

you basicaly are gimped by using cross class skills, but no one recognizes that

Which doesn't make a difference, because the skill is still unbalanced. Which is obvious since it's so often used, and so well used.

Added to stamina, animation, skill points, etc it becomes more unbalanced, because, "Oh i'm out of stamina, pop a cure" situations, or any number of situations makes it a game of cheating redmages.

It's basic theorycrafting but with no practical proof of workability.

Developers quickly realized that it was unsustainable broken concept that the solution would create exponentially more balance problems.

You are in rough multiplication wise of class skills X cross class combination X stats X stamina X future skills X future classes X future weapons X enemies scenarios X etc.

Each one of them possibility unbalancing the already unbalanced system, all requiring constant audits by live breathing human minds.

It's easily one of the rookie-est mistake developers can make. The armoury system, the skill system, the stat system, the battle system. They were not just -not- working from release, they won't work ever without massive upkeep, which means it would never work from a practical standpoint.
