Which cross class abilities should i get for Machinist?

[Bigcat9715]

You know, I totally forgot this was a cross class since the only jobs that can cross class arc are smn and blm, and they don't get access to physical weapon skills, but has everyone else also forgotten that Straight Shot is cross classable? I am now very much looking at b4b, invig, RS, HE and SS.

SS is only for GLA/ PGL/ MRD/ LNC/ ARC/ ROG/ BRD

Well golly skippy.
Raging Strikes, Quelling Strikes, Hawk's Eye are GLA, PGL, MRD, LNC, ARC, ROG, CNJ, THM, ACN, BRD, BLM, SMN.
Invigorate and Blood for Blood are GLA,PGL,MRD,LNC,ARC,ROG,CNJ,THM,ACN,MNK,DRG,BRD,NIN.

By your logic it looks like MCN is just hosed out of all cross class abilities. Does this sound stupid to you? God I hope so.

Please note straight shot may not actually be cross classable - it is only usable by base classes (DoW classes for that matter), not jobs (excluding bard).

That is because the only "jobs" that cross classed arc up til now have been casters. No caster has access to ANY physical attack cross abilities(except for Mercy Stroke for some odd reason).

Inversely, SS is crossable by EVERY single physical attacker, excluding jobs, because, as mentioned, no physical job can cross ANYTHING from arc

snips.

So by your logic Monk and Dragoon should have Goad and Death blossom. Think about that.

Your logic remains super flawed. DRG and MNK can not cross class from ROG. No "job" can. If ROG was usable by either of those jobs, then yes. I am 100% certain they would have both abilities. Do you even understand how cross classing works? Seriously, I don't even know if you completely understand what you're arguing.
