Scaling of abilities to a player's level is not a step in the right direction.

[Physic]

Which is fine and good because you won't have only 15 abilities total. You'll have cross class abilities... such as nukes and CC from other classes whose effectiveness also scales with level. Does this mean you'll need to level more than one class to level effectively? Maybe.
But it is already like that even now... though to a less extreme degree.

but you get them fairly late in the process. you only have access to like 3 cross class abilities at 15. Also, there is only 2 mage classes to pull those small amount of skills from. In the begining of the game, you will be using almost exclusively whatever skills they start you with.

It actually means, DoW have 6 other classes skills to pull abilities from, where as DoM has about 1, class that can give them any spells, or spell boosting/altering abilities.

Thing is if they make con for example have more curing/support skills, at the same time reducing their total skills, by about 1/3rd how will they solo? at the same time when cross class skills will be a very limited resource early.

Soughspeak.

might be valuable, but these skills will have to be altered to be something you could use way more often. not simply use for 1 minute, this would be have to be something you could toggle on and off, or use before most spells.
