i think the problem is, right now, until we get more info this system isnt making sense for mages. Fact is a mage needs more spells. If you arent using teirs, you may need more types of different skills to handle things a different way, but with only 15 abilities total.... sorry this gives you virtually no room. Add to that, no class can be a one trick pony, or they wont be able to solo (which is supposedly the advantage of classes)e even more so now, with a lot less cross class skills available to you early.

15 abilities isnt really a good plan. around 4 of these wont even be spells. And each class needs to be able to stand alone more so no, because you cant cross class many abilities early.


I dont know, its really rare to see a mage class in any game with only 15 abilities total. Its also pretty rare to see amage class which uses all its abilities at once, usually they take a wide variety of skills, and use the ones that apply the most.
