What Skills Should Become Role Specific.

[Eloah]

So with the prospect of 4.0 redoing the battle system and some skills will become Role specific, I was wondering what skills you think should be removed from a class/job and be placed into the pool of abilities for common use. That being said there should be some criteria to follow. First any skills or abilities listed in the lore book for a job should be considered cannon to just that job, so skills/abilities that would seem obsolete or useful for other jobs, like Ley Lines or Leeches, must stay. Second, the abilities cannot be as cut and dry as give it to everyone give it to these jobs not these, so for that a system needs to be in place. I will present said system below. Finally, and abilities/traits that are adjusted to this system should come with an explaination as to why, its an ability everyone expects, these jobs get it but one doesn't, even though that job provides the same function, etc. And with that lets start brainstorming. I will be adding my own ideas later, i cant right now, since I am on my phone.

Here is the list of the criteria for a skill for each class/job. So as long as you classify a skill as one or more things then that skill can be used by those classes/jobs.

Categories:
Primary Role: Tank, DPS, Healer
Disciple: War, Magic
Battle Style: Offensive, Defensive, Support
Type of Attacks: Physical, Caster
Distance: Melee, Ranged

Classes/Jobs will be given one classification from each category. Skills will be given at least one category as well. In order for a Class/Job to be able to use said skill they must meet all of the requirements. For instance, Provoke is classified as a Tank skill, so only a Class/Job classified as a Tank can use it. Transversely, Raging Strikes is a DPS & Ranged Skill, so a Class/Job must be a DPS and use Ranged attacks; so while Monk might meet the DPS, they aren't Ranged, and Scholar is Ranged but not a DPS, they cannot use the Skill.

TANKS
Gladiator/Paladin: Tank, War, Defensive, Physical, Melee
Marauder/Warrior: Tank, War, Offensive, Physical, Melee
Dark Knight: Tank, War, Offensive, Physical, Melee

DPS
Pugilist/Monk: DPS, War, Offensive, Physical, Melee
Lancer/Dragoon: DPS, War, Offensive, Physical, Melee
Rogue/Ninja: DPS, War, Offensive, Physical, Melee
Archer/Bard: DPS, War, Support, Physical, Ranged
Machinist: DPS, War, Support, Physical, Ranged
Thaumaturge/Black Mage: DPS, Magic, Offensive, Caster, Ranged
Arcanist/Summoner: DPS, Magic, Support, Caster, Ranged

HEALER
Conjurer/White Mage: Healer, Magic, Defensive, Caster, Ranged
Scholar: Healer, Magic, Defensive, Caster, Ranged
Astrologian: Healer, Magic, Defensive, Caster, Ranged
