Can we please have more cross class skills?

You could always unequip your soul crystal.

I know WARs who actually do this. When there's two tanks queueing up for a one-tank job (eg HM Titan), a WAR'll unequip their Soul Crystal and grab things like Blood For Blood and Raging Strikes via crossclassing. Since they already have class-unique damage buffs on top of that they actually have some potentially terrifying DPS capabilities (which is why I'm waiting for a DPS Job option for Warriors)

However, for most players that isn't an option. The cross class options you get access to generally aren't worth the loss of your Job Actions, nevermind the stat boosts.

Expansion for subjobs? I'd really want this to be a thing.

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

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

That makes no sense. Oh man, I can't cast a basic cure spell but I can suddenly summon up some healing wind, etc. The logic is lacking.

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.

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.

[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.
