They need to loosen restrictions on cross-class skills, NOT move away from them. One of the most disappointing things with the system from the very start is how absolutely limiting it is simply due to the choices. We have a finite number of skills we can choose to cross-class with.

As a Warrior/PLD, I find myself constantly spamming Alliance/Party asking ninjas to Goad me (which barely helps half the time). I'd much rather have Invigorate & Goad (so i can Goad another tank/dps) than any worthless skills from Monk. The 15% avoidance is essentially the only interesting skill for a Warrior from pug, but even then there's not enough information on that skill as to how it actually works in combat.

I hope they change that information for 3.0 and have the DarkKnight based on the Gladiator, or a new base class, and allow more cross-class skilling. We need MORE complexity, NOT less!!!
