With 2.3 around the corner I had hopes SE would have fixed this issue by now. What issues you ask?... The useless cross skills...

You know, the ones that no one uses.

I.e :
Skull sunder on pld, mnk, drg.
Savage blade on War
Cure and raise on Sch & Smn
....the list goes on. These skill are either alternate version of a skills the class already had or completely useless to a class because of the game dynamics.

Ive been away from FFXIV a while so maybe I missed something. Have they ever said y these are cross classed? If not, these skills need to be traded for something else. For example, id glady trade cure on arcanist for repose or thunder. Or trade savage blade for a axe version of shield swipe(parry vs block)

Any thoughts why this was implemented this way? Maybe se has a master plan they have not revealed.
