Allow me to bring something in that the title of this post would be more fitted for.

There was one solution someone in my FC had that would fix the CC skills in a way that would promote the dev plan of phasing out base classes: taking CC skills most commonly used (i.e. Swiftcast, Bloodbath, etc.) and baking their effects into skills of the job that you're using the CC skill for. There would definitely be some level of debate as to what CC skills get baked into what job skills, but it would free up hotbar slots and devs would get their wish of toning out base classes.
