Class Switching question

[SunZhi]

As Ferth said, you can use many - but not all - abilities across classes. For instance, I use Protect, Shell, Shock Spikes, Cure, and Roaming Soul from CON when I play on my THM. I also use Defender from MRD, Featherfoot and Second Wind from PGL, and Rampart from GLA when I solo NMs on my THM.

The tradeoff is that the abilities from the 'other' class are not as powerful on your current class, ie. cooldown time might be longer, effective duration may be shorter, etc. (You can use guild marks to buy traits to improve the cross-class effectiveness.) It is an interesting - and often powerful - part of the game's design. Like the Crane Technique, if used properly, no defense.
