Would like to see more shared skills that are useful

The Talent Tree idea is kinda there, SE just Remixed it. Think about it, Take WoW PLD for example, you had a DPS Tree, A Tank Tree, and a Healing Tree. Arcanist can Spec Healer or DPS, and I expect SE to continue to go in this direction where classes will branch into different jobs. Instead of Trees's you have Job Crystals and Instead on points you can spend in those trees you have "Attributes Points and Materia". But like Kitru Said, Eventually, everyone will figure out which set up is most opitimal and role with that.... For example What other choice does BRD really have than to put all their Attribute points in DEX ? Sure you could put some in VIT and PIE but really you would be gimping yourself.

One thing I miss from the very old days of 1.0 was how each guild had certain skills you could unlock if you saved up enough "guild marks" through quests. These skills were pretty general and could be shared over any class. It really helped encourage players to try different play styles on their way to picking up these new skills. I find once I get into a job there aren't a lot of exciting or useful skills to share to customize my character. I have the option to add additional skills - but none of them really seem worth having. I would like to see ways to unlock more skills that can be shared over all classes, or at least magic skills for magic classes and battle skills for battle classes.

If I could like this thread x1000 I would. Some of the Cross Class Skills are worthless. Why the heck Savage Blade and Skull sunder cross class ?
