Please Please Please Remove Esuna From CrossRole

Nah, its just better to pre-pull with Scholar Selene and impress the other healer that you have beaten them to the punch on Fey Caressing both targets.

oh hey, good idea. Selene has been getting so much shit lately. I completely forgot about her abilities.

I love this "use a macro to swap" argument... use one button to swap skill A to skill B, use another button to use skill B, use another button to swap back to skill A then use another button to use skill A... 4 buttons for 2 skills... not a big deal on a keyboard but a mess on a controller... no wonder people hesitate to play healers

Or you put it all in one macro and at the start of the dungeon press it once. I don't get where you think you need 4 buttons from.

Baddies will ruin all good things and I don't believe in SE balancing around people being bad. Esuna being on role actions is great because it means you can exchange it for something else in the VERY often situation a fight doesn't call for it. I prefer it that way, personally, because it's such a wasted ability in like 80% of endgame.

It's one button to swap from a to b, use b, and swap b to a.

Well and the button to use a, but there is no increase in buttons to have a skill swap and use macro.

Aye, but if Esuna is off the cross class list, you had 2 Buttons anyway. Now it's the same. One for Esuna, One for Protect. Not 4 Buttons for 2 Skills, like Okaminaru said.

Rescue can be an annoyance.

I cast Protect and switch it out for Rescue after casting.
It's not an annoyance if you know how to use it. One particular fight I love using it at and is actually quite effective is the Leviathan fight on Extreme. Most of the times you do that fight you do it in DF. There's almost always someone who misses that you have to walk to the other end of the woosh thingy on the side, or they might've just missed it.
Besides that I use Largesse, Swiftcast, Lucid Dreaming and Esuna.

It's also a great way to force your tanks to pay attention and pick up adds you aggro'd, especially in 8mans when you Rescue OTs doing pure DPS.

That, and it's just a great way to troll your friends.

It boggles my mind that their solution to "SCH doesn't get Esuna until 40, what do?" was to take away everyone's Esuna instead of making it a spell tied to SCH's Job stone. It's not like they haven't reorganized the levels of other abilities, or stuck other abilities on Job stones that their class can't have access to. "Oh no, now they would need another cross role spell" Stick Riposte in there. Done.

This is functionally no different than simply removing an ability you have access to from your bar.
