This game desperately needs more character customization. There are almost no difficult choices when it comes to skills - partly because half the cross skills suck for other classes, and partly because there are so few choices. There is practically zero difference from one character to another other than gear.

If a Bard wants to pick up Swiftcast and Raise instead of DPS cooldowns, he should have that choice. If a tank wants to pick up DPS cooldowns since he spends more time offtanking in an encounter or if he wants more snap threat, he should have that choice. Let us come up with cool utility and ways to play our Jobs so we aren't all the exact same.
