Why physical (DPS) jobs cross-classes lancer? & Implications

[DoctorPepper]

Who's to say that the new jobs won't have special skills they learn through quests that can't be cross classed but still have other "cross class/job" abilities in order to meet the current structure? Just because they removed the word class from the equation doesn't mean we won't still have some abilities from other jobs to use. Personally, with the lvl cap going up to 60 I'm hoping they open it up more and allow for some more hybrid customizations.

If anything they should destroy that structure. All 3 meelee dps has b4b, inner release, invig for cross class and have almost the same upkeep for class actions (2 dots, 1 resistance down and at least 1 self buff). Blm and smn almost have the same cross classes but at least their underlying class mechanics is different enough. I am gonna be pretty disappointed if drk is going to have the same cross classes as pld and war and have the same tanking structure (1 base aoe enmity generator, 3 hit single target enmity generator, 1 20% mitigation equivalent, 1 40% mitigation equivalent, etc)
