Concerns about " Getting rid of unused and ineffective actions"

Yeah, unfortunately if the devs ever do that, I see PLD losing their cross classes from WHM. Either that, or they'll end up getting replacement skills that function in a similar way/at least Protect and Stoneskin will be built right into PLD tree to make up for it.

I really hope you are right. The devs need to have a serious think about PLDs job identity, and also work out a way to compensate PLD (as well as DRG) for the skills that they will inevitably lose with this change to the system. As it stands, PLD will lose Provoke, Convalescence, Awareness(?), and potentially Flash (though this will probably just be excempt from the system, and hopefully changed). They are also the only job that will potentially lose an entire cross class job from their list (to be replaced with DRK... hooray for homogenization), healers won't lose BLM skills, as all healers have BLM as a cross class, so the relevant skills will be kept for all healers.
