As a MCH, due to the usefulness of the combination of LNC and ARC, I don't have room to have Quelling Strikes on my cross class list. I have Raging Strikes, Blood for Blood, Invigorate, Hawk's Eye, and Feint. Of those, the only one I could consider taking off is Feint, and even that has incredible usefulness when I have Gauss Barrel active due to the fact that it ignores the cast time said skill causes, while still keeping the damage boost. Invigorate on the other hand is a necessity if I want to maintain AoE damage for a long period of time when in a group that wants a quick run. Also, as much as I love my MCH, and despite the fact that I'm frequently out DPSing other classes in DF runs due to lack of skill/not trying on their parts, if you're having the aggro taken from you as a tank by a BRD or MCH then you're doing something wrong, unless they're completely attacking a target the rest of the group isn't focused on, in which case let them die. Particularly with MCH, where part of our DPS aggro is taken by our turret. I know this thread was partly directed at classes like SMN, DRG, and BLM who can cross class with ARC, but the fact that you felt the need to include BRD in the opening of your rant is a bit worrying.....
