Concerns about " Getting rid of unused and ineffective actions"

[Jetstream_Fox]

I'm more concerned about how the new battle system is going to play, not so much what skills I lose. A lot of classes need to be reworked and a lot of skills need to go through an reexamination, BRD, SMN, SCH, are 3 that really ring a bell off the top of my head as classes that need a complete overhaul. BRD is a wreck because of WM and SE has no idea what to do with the class, SMN has always felt out of place and it's summon aspect is neglected, and SCH also falls into the category of feeling like it was intended to be something else.

It almost sounds like they want to forgo the trinity, which if that's a case it would make sense for all the classes to be reworked like they're saying. But if not, the useless skills are really due to the fact SE hasn't built content around all the skills a class has, like I can't even say the last time I've used shadowbind because there isn't real any content that requires BRD to bind target, and likely the group has a stun which beats out bind. If the battle system isn't dropping the trinity, wouldn't it be more logical for them to redesign skills before they determine what is truly useless?

Honestly, I wouldn't mind if they phased out the pet entirely, and focused on giving flashy summon invocations like Deathflare. As things stand, the current state of SMN pets just has them acting as a ball and chain for an extended set of skills, as opposed to being actually interesting as pets. Titan Egi is the most interesting and engaging of the bunch, but isn't something that should actually end up seeing play in the first place.
