Are there plans to make Classes more viable?

[Trayes]

Hey all!

I have a simple question and a smaller but related question.

Are there plans to make classes more viable?

Are there plans to make more cross class skills or buff current ones to feel worth losing the 5 Job skills?

Here is a list of cross class skills. You will notice most of these are pretty pointless. I will highlight them in red. The not so bad skills I will highlight in pink. Credit to Foreaux Albatross
