As an above poster said, if they were as good or better than the cross class moves, that would be one thing. They do not come as close as they should, so removing them in favor of getting all of the cross class moves can only help people.

Are the Specialist-only actions bad? On their own, no - though there is a lot more RNG with them, which may be considered bad. Compared to the cross class moves? Higher stats needed and more RNG for lesser results means that, contrary to your opinion, they ARE bad, compared to the cross class moves.
Oh I'm very aware of how few people realise how good they are. One other person saying they don't make a difference doesn't do a thing to change my experience with it. And that's having all specialists, and crafting gear for scrips for quite a while on the same gear with characters that had the specialisation, and the ones that don't. It's actually kind of baffling how underestimated they are.
