Should we consider combat QOL improvements/changes ?

[Gamer3427]

While I disagree with most of the posts in this thread, I would like to see some sort of "specialist" skills implemented that work off of a more traditional leveling tree with branches that lock each other out, with you perhaps picking one or two skills that work in a separate slot from your normal skills or cross class skills. If this was implemented of course, it would need to have a way that you can reset your progress to level up the skill differently, though perhaps at a cost of so much gil/tomestones.....

These skills ideally would be balanced to have decent benefits from doing one leveling path compared to another, such as drastically changing the skill's effect. Mass Effect is one of the better examples I have of this, where the same basic skill had a few upgrade options that could result in drastically different end results. Of course, there will always be an "ideal" set up for each class for end game content no matter what, as no matter what there is an "ideal" set up players will devise in any game, whether or not it's truly ideal, or just what one popular group decided was best. What matters though is that players can decide whether they want to be using the "ideal" set up, or the one that works best for them and their group. Players in different statics will also be able to figure out their own best set up for their particular composition based on their members.....

EDIT: I also have another idea for an improvement for combat in general, but I made a separate thread since this one has mostly become a discussion about elemental attributes.....
