My only complaint with the way cross-class skills are set up is that you can't see in your current class which cross-class skills could be available if you leveled the other classes more. You basically have to look through all the skills in each of the other classes to see which ones are available to cross-class .. or you come to the forums and ask. It would be nice if they showed you all the available skills (assuming you have at least 1 level in the class) but grey out the ones that aren't available because of level - just the way they show abilities for your current class.
