[dev1206] Too many class-exclusive actions

[Delsus]

I'm with having more exclusive actions for the classes. Some people who have been around long enough may remember topics that said there wasn't enough diversity between everything.



I'm sort of in agreement with this, depending on the level of the linkshell you look at. R45 dungeon had people that wanted everyone with the Archer quick move to help speed run the area, Ifrit may have needed people with Gladiator up to level for Sentinel so they could avoid more of Hellfire's damage. Then look at other abilities that bolster damage output or survivability that probably spread from 2-3 different classes (Featherfoot, Second Wind, Bloodbath, Ferocity/Raging Strike, Invigorate...). It's like it went from FFXI's style to having some subjobs needed for 1 class, to almost all subjobs needed for 1 class.

Let the diversity come, let each class feel like it can contribute in it's own way.

Exactly, I dont wanna be foreced to lvl a class I dont enjoy to 50 for that one ability that is "required" for xxx fight.

Also it may make healers need to heal DDs rather than heal the tank only and DDs have to heal themselves, depending on how gimped cures are cross classed.

If you're talking about the upcoming changes, I think they mentioned the skills' potency will be scaled based on the level of your active class.
That's also why they put the limit to cross-class skill at 10, I think.

But then theres also the stats, a LNC/MRD/PUG will always have less mnd than a CON and no healing magic potency gear/materia, i'm not sure on the formulae but that should nerf heals off DDs alot, also they could be changing the spells so stats have a bigger impact on potency, not sure on the last one but it is a possibility which would nerf DD cures alot.
