Way to assume, ass.

1) I was leveling a SMN to begin. I did read my abilities, on my hotbar, as they popped up. I didn't really have a need to open my abilities tab as I was leveling, because everything magically showed up on my hotbar, I read it, figured out how it worked with what I had, and put it where I wanted on the hotbar.

2) Coming from other games where there isn't "Cross Class" abilities, seeing all the names under the ability didn't scream to me "THIS IS A CROSS CLASS ABILITY" but that multiple classes/jobs got the same ability, as other games have.

3) I'm not a stupid player. I understand things. But if something like provoke is as necessary as ya'll are making it out to be (I have a DRK to 60, but don't tank anything over 50 because, God forbid, I might offend a hard-core by not being bleeding edge amazing in a duty roulette) then it needs to be emphasized better than it currently is.
