Can we please have more cross class skills?

If you're running out of TP on WAR you're doing it wrong. Burning out on Overpower spam on speedruns doesn't count. Plus giving them LNC skills gives them BFB...bad enough I see WARs who don't hit defensive CDs. Imagine those WARs then hitting BFB for teh leet Deeps. Keen Flurry wouldn't be bad though.

Well, if the WAR dies, there's no way to recover TP normally, whereas almost every other class has an ability (natural or CC) that restores their resources when being raised in the middle of combat. That's my biggest concern in every difficult fight. If WARs had Invigorate, that would be a lot easier for me to manage that kind of situation.

Also, the Keen Flurry wouldn't hurt much either, and Blood for Blood is a great PVP skill the way PVP strats are right now.

I'm still waiting on an explanation on how BRD can't use any healing spells, but has a healing limit break...

In 1.0, it was the other way around. Most abilities were cross-classable and only a few weren't. The original intent was for players to mix-match the class abilities to make their job. Want to be a paladin? Equip a melee weapon and add on some Conjury spells. The problem however was that it wasn't designed well enough as no one felt really unique and parties were massive zerg fests. The system simply just wasn't fun and needed a lot of work.

With the introduction of Jobs, classes were fine-tuned and specialized a tad. A lot of that freedom was removed.

You answered your own inquiry. Bard has a healing LB because it lacks other healing skills.

In that case PLD needs it more. PLD's main AoE hate grab as well as their tank stance require MP. PLD needs TP to use their combo to recover MP.

[Ninix]

its fine the way it is.

Yeah, it's great. It's such a wonderfully deep system that offers lots of diversity in how I build my character. I mean just look at all the cool choices my BLM can pick from ARC!

No, I'm pretty sure it's because they only made four limit break animations and neither of the DPS ones make any sense for a bow user.

Because Bard is suppose to be a support class, but sucks till end-game where are used often more. In 1.0 I believe they use to have actual buffs that gives like Phy/Magic def up and raises hp/mp for a period of time or something...Can't find previous skill list.
They removed 2 really good support skills at that. Though if a healer dies, and you have a bard they can be handy...LB system is rushed anyways.
And they kinda screwed up bard to be a DPS/Support where they should just be ranger and find a way to make a good support class fit in this game.

Edit: Forgot to mention CNJ use to be a req in 1.0, they changed it to PGL.

[iWaRTuRTLe]

yeah just make it like 1.0 …..

[Morzy]

There are a few situations where it would make more sense(for balance) to have cross-class, one of them being WAR and TP regeneration upon Raise/Ressuretion.


And as far as the BRD LB goes.. I am a firm believer of it being a balancing choice.

I don't even use all my cross class slots.
