Class/Job "Sub job system"

[Giantbane]

People will still choose the best combination, i.e.

Tanks will have to have Provoke, Convalesence, Flash...
Healers will have to have Swiftcast, Stoneskin, Protect....
DPS will still have to have Blood for Blood, Internal Release, Second Wind...

The prospect of more choices is good but only on paper. In practical, the most wild combination won't contribute to the raids (and that's what the game is centered around) it will probably won't be implemented any time soon.

Sorry, OP but I would also like to have Life Surge on my WAR (dat Critical self-heal on Fell Cleave...) I don't think it happen with the current state of the game.

Pretty sure hp returned by Life Surge gets capped at 10% of max hp or something like that, so the heal portion wouldn't be all that spectacular, even with Fel Cleave (guaranteed crit would be nice tho). Also flash isn't really necessary for WAR and it's useless on DRK.

Anyhow, it depends, sometimes it's nice to have interesting utility skills as long as they're good at something. I think it would actually be nice to have cleric stance if I'm using BLM/SMN. Even with the heal penalty, pretty sure you'd get more out of your Physick casts with INT/MND swapped. It'd be useless for bleeding edge raiding, but for solo use or saving a daily run if your healer has died? It could be a nice option to have.

I really wish they would expand the cross class system to allow a greater selection of skills for other jobs to utilize. They don't have to give every ability to every job, but right now it's too limited.
