When I started looking up guides for Jobs (specifically SCH) on YouTube, that's when I learned it was actually different, and around 5.0, I noticed (looking at the official "Job Guide" webpages) that there are those little "spell"/"weaponskill"/"ability" tags, and that's when I figured out, for the first time, how to tell which was which on my own. I'd been playing since 2.3. You can mock me if you want, I'd wager that's a fairly common story.
I'm not mocking you but I am genuinely mystified and curious as to how this is possible. You played for years without noticing that some buttons aren't on the global cooldown? How?
