TIME: Interview with Yoshi

I don't know if I'm happy or sad about the mention of the spec tree.

I'm the same way. I read that and just paused a bit, trying to figure out how I would feel if that became a thing in this game. I'd really rather they just try and design the support/hybrid roles.

I totally agree. I mean the tree in other games is interesting, I guess. But you only have one class per character, so the tree helps create different style of play. But I personally prefer different jobs, instead of different specs. I do hope they create support jobs.

Imagine, if you will, a FFXIV Skill Tree for a Warrior that has:

-Berserk no longer Incompacitates
-Storm's Eye Duration Increased by 15 seconds
-Critical Hits now restore 10 TP
-Vengeance grants Wrath without Defiance
-Foresight grants increased critical hit chance while active

-vs-

-Blood for Blood healing is increased to 25%
-Holmgang no longer binds the user and the range is extended to 20 yalms
-Wrath stacks reduce incoming damage by 1% per stack
-Fracture lowers the targets STR by 0.5% per tick, stacking 10 times.
-Foresight also reduces magic damage by 10%

Your current warrior, while an excellent offtank and decent DPS in his own right, can now specialize even further by choosing to enchance his offensive capabilities or his defensive capabilities.
