Do you think will get 5 new skills in sb if so will we eventally have to many?

Our "job only" jobs from HW have still class skills they learn by leveling up instead of questing

Yes, because you can still end up in, say, Satasha with your new Jobs, so its important to have skills available at the right levels. There will always be a mix of abilities that come from leveling, and come from questing, and I think that's alright.

Pruning is good but I'm afraid they'll do it the wrong way, removing useless abilities that we don't even have on our hotbars, and replaing them with good abilities that we'll actually have to use.

The best way is to merge where it's possible, for example, why are Dreadwyrm Trance and Deathflare separate buttons? Just make it so we press the button once to activate Trance, and again to use Deathflare.

Another merge would be Enkindle and Painflare. Painflare is a completely redundant flat AoE, we already had one. Just buff the one that we already have with a trait to make it cost Aetherflow and have a 10 seconds cooldown.

Also, they should stop thinking that every job needs the same amount of new abilities. Black mage can get more spells since their rotation is so skinny, but summoner doesn't, unless it's things that they activate before battle such as stances or summons.

This is a fantastic suggestion to be honest. I'd be game for more abilities that switch to another skill once used. Other abilities I think can simply be upgraded with traits instead of taking up an entirely new slot on the hotbar. I mean, look at Black Mage's Thunder, Thunder II, and Thunder III. There's no reason why Thunder II and III need to exist instead of just having Thunder and upgrading it with traits to increase its potency and duration, and at the 3rd step, add the chance to proc a free instant cast of it. For Fire and Blizzard this becomes a bit more difficult, but I could see something similar being worked out where traits increase the astral fire/umbral ice charges and potency instead of giving us entirely new skills. As for Fire II and Blizzard II, I'd prefer they name changed them to Firaga and Blizzaga. Blizzaga feels useless to be honest, so I wouldn't be opposed to them outright removing it. It overlaps with Freeze, which is better since you can choose the location. You could probably combine Freeze with Lethargy and just remove Lethargy. Or combine Lethargy with Sleep. Not sure what direction they'll go with Sleep. Maybe a trait that makes it instant cast and adds a Stun.

Mana Wall and Mana Barrier could definitely be combined. I don't know a lot of BLMs who use Surecast, maybe combine it with Swiftcast or just get rid of it I suppose. Aetherial Manipulation would be a LOT more useful if it just transported the character forward the maximum distance in the direction they're facing. I don't know why SE seems determined to keep its destination tethered to something or someone. Apocatastasis would benefit from being off the Global Cooldown, right now it interferes with DPS rotations if you try to throw it up, and besides, I've yet to meet the tank who -needs- it.
