    Actually, I think the change will be bigger than that. Yoshi-P mentionned, as an "example", that it's useless to have severals tanks having a "-20% damage taken/1m30 CD/20s duration" skill.
    So, maybe Rampart and Shadowskin will be removed from PLD and DRK skilltrees and put into the Tank skills. It opens up a new slot for PLD and DRK, but can also make Rampart available for WAR, who will need to be adjusted accordingly.
    Technically, they could decide to make a universal enmity combo too, and balance the potency gap between job-restricted skills.

    As a sidenote, what it could bring in the end is the total removal of classes, and thus, potentially removing the weapon restriction.
    Think about it, if your job is determined by the Crystal you equip, why not allow a PLD to use a greatsword or a Ninja to use two sword with a real Dual Wield ?

While WAR might lose one or two skills (and DRK loses none), PLD has the potential to lose 3 or 4 skills (as part of the base PLD toolkit), on top of the healing skills which diversify its gameplay.
    I think that PLD will gain the most of it. Considering he is the "basic" tank, Tank skills will probably be taken more from him, opening severals slots for new skills.
