Thread: Thoughs on removing cross class skills and adding 5 new skills for each job come 4.0?

I'm still surprised they dropped the ball so hard in HW not making any new skills crossclassable.

It would've added variation if different combinations of 5 skills could remain competitive, and it would've given incentive to level multiple jobs adding to potential playtime. I was so sure they'd have done this I took some jobs from 34 (42 in the case of mnk) to 50 before 3.0. And I'm not annoyed because I did that extra work that ended up fruitless, just still baffled at the design decision. Your complaint isn't new; people have said there's not enough good crossclass skills for a lot of jobs for a long time, and making HW skills fill that niche would've just made perfect sense. Oh well.
