Thread: 4.0 abilities

Just add more skills - this is the answer:-)

I for one don't want any new abilities I would have no idea where to put them and just know it'll cause alot of problems for us controller users. I do not want a hotbar filled with unused abilites and neither do I want rotations to be rediculously long and even more constricting tyvm.

MCH could be helped by merging skills like Dismantle and Rend Mind though.

Just add new jobs, and improve the old ones with new traits.

already 3 hot fars full gonna clutter my screen soon >_<

All I want is AST to get an instant AOE heal. Hell, they could even make their PVP skill Retrogradation into a PVE skill.

If they do add more active skills, then keyboard players will definitely have to get used to hotbar switching (something controller players have been doing aplenty all along).

That said, I don't think SE's dumb enough not to realise that adding another 5+ skills to every job is simply asking for trouble. Some jobs are still fairly straight-forward, but if they tell me to give my SCH another five buttons to press, I'm out. I'm thinking new traits, different combo paths and more procs (because procs are always fun) is the way to go.

I don't have a problem with hotbars at all, my concern is about class gameplay changing on every expansion. Maybe they should go back to their 1 job skill every 5 levels and add traits inbetween.
