Thoughs on removing cross class skills and adding 5 new skills for each job come 4.0?

I definitely approve, I think doing that and adding some ability pruning across the board is a really good idea.

Get rid of invigorate, lower tp costs across the board or just get rid of the TP system altogether, add a sprint bar, leave the combo system and call it a day.

Ditch abilities like fist of flame, heavy thrust, maim, huton, and just fold their damage bonuses in to the base abilities and tune around that, etc.

You can get rid of TP when you get rid of MP.

I'm all for getting rid of the MP bar also. Unfortunately, the MP bar is still seen as necessary because they don't want healers having infinite resources. But games like swtor proved that you could do alternate resource bars for healers that wasn't MP and still make you manage your resources in a way that required attention.

I don't really see getting rid of TP as being anywhere near getting rid of MP though. TP as a "resource" doesn't really apply as there really is no need to manage it, unlike MP which you do (depending on the class you play). The TP bar as a resource is really lame, I'd rather see it get replaced with something else.

Edit: To clarify, when I say "manage tp" I am referring to just doing your regular combos and rotation you generally won't run out of TP unless the fight really drags on and if the fight is dragging on that long, then TP isn't the issue.

Double edit: Now that I thought about it more, I don't recall ever seeing much MP management to be needed at all. I won't include Blm as they have infinite MP unless they really mess up, Ast and Sch both have MP recovery with Luminous Aether and Aetherflow. The only healer I've ever seen risk running out of MP is whm when they get a little overzealous with that holy spam or they have a group that's eating way too much aoe. I don't know if whm has an MP recovery move though, it's the only healer I haven't leveled to 60.

I approve just so I can watch every healer very slowly cast raise/ascend/resurrection lmao (sarcasm) this would be awful for healers and most dps that rely on those buffs for dps numbers I.e raging strikes, BFB, internal release and whatever else so they would have to change a lot with skills to make this work and even some content...
