Should level 55 job abilities be overpowered, but content made more difficult?

Forget overpowered skills. We need useful skills, harder/more complex content, and gear sets with skill/stat benefits.

I'm hard pressed to find a group that can clear Turn 6 and you want harder content? Go run Savage Coil. Unfortunately I don't see them ever really putting skill buffs on gear because this game does not allow gear swaps in combat meaning either people would start expecting you to continue using a gimped piece of gear after it's been obsoleted (see XI's Thief's Knife) or the skill boost would only be useful until the next ilevel bump. Given that they'd likely also offset the skill bonus by decreasing the stats on the gear a lot of people might not even bother unless the bonus to the ability was substantial enough to warrant losing the main/secondary stats on the rest of their attacks.

What's more likely is the introduction of skill trees though that would cause the inevitable whining on the forums about why can't we max all our skill trees? :P Even in FFXI people whined about not being able to max out every ability/stat boost in the merit point categories...
