    With the change from cross class to role abilities SE has to put some abilities in that selection that are considered "necessary" for that role.
    With the removal of cross class they can't have Protect be a WHM only spell, and adding it to all the healers increases the number of buttons; Esuna is meeting a similar fate because it is random for a dungeon or boss to actually require a dispel and you can now choose if you need it or not. Don't want to have to "worry about possibly needing it" or you feel like it is "used all the time" then take it. This is just another iteration or cross class which is already inflexible. Are the new Role Abilities perfect? No, but complaining about how you have little to no choice when the current model doesn't have them either is whining just to whine.

    Ex. I need Esuna for Baelsar's Wall, I however won't touch the button in Sohr Kai (Hard), I however will still take it if I am doing Expert Roulette.
    How do you justify the fact that Shroud of Saints and Luminiferous Aether (which are MP refreshers of equal MP restoration) from White Mage and Astrologian? These are built into the classes and are now being shoved into the Cross Role as Lucid Dreaming.....I can see if this is to help SCH but Ive never seen a Scholar have MP troubles and even if they did, its hardly a reason to rob WHM and AST of something built into them. SE can just as easily program the Cross Role to have Lucid Dreaming show up ONLY for SCH while WHM and AST get to keep the ones they already have built into them. Yes this would mean that WHM and AST would only have 9 Cross Role abilities, but who cares, it doesnt need to be symmetrical and you can bet SEs entire reason for combining Shroud of Saints and Luminiferous Aether into the Cross Role Lucid Dreaming and combining Esuna, Exalted Detriment and Leeches into the Cross Role Esuna, was just to make sure ALL the Healers had a Healer Cross Role menu that had 10 different abilities for the sake of an unnecessary symmetry -.-
