[dev1033] Class name changes -> Specialization/Talent Trees Into Classic FF Classes

Good points. My thinking wasn't as well thought out.

However, I think that there should be a reflection of the other classes you have leveled as 'character growth'. This was one of the main themes of FFXIV as far as I can remember. I think that simply being able to use the abilities of other classes is what leads to the 'gray' affect. Perhaps affinity (up to 50 or 70% as you suggest) should be controlled more by the level of the other classes?

I just want my char to reflect the fact that I have leveled CON or GLD to 50 even when I play a different class. (No, I have no class past 30 in FFXIV just to be honest)

And perhaps they could add an 'Affinity Percentage' bar to the abilities you are equipping? Surely that wouldn't be too hard if affinity is an actually calculated stat in FFXIV.

That may be a better idea, but slightly redundant. I mean that something like that is already in place, in a way.

If I have say GLA at 50, and CON at 20, and I equip Cure 2, it will still be Cure 2, no matter the fact that I'm level 50. On the other hand, a 50 CON will have Cure 3. That obviously has a much higher potency.
So no matter what, in the end, even as a 50 gladiator I'm not nearly as powerful as a healer as a 50 CON. This even more so if affinity is lowered across the board.

Unless I level CON further, I will still have to use abilities way under my level, further limited by affinity.
