What I mean by wasted skill is like Storms Eye for WAR, Rage of Halone for PLD, or Dragons Kick for MNK. Those skills are not "wasted" but just less optimal when another class is around or it simple does less damage. This also isn't the same thing as BLM's Freeze spell where it doesn't really fit into any rotation.

Using the tanks as examples are bad because both skills have their place, just for optimal DPS they do not, and everyone in this game seems to want optimal DPS.
First of all... are you talking about casual content or about raids/statics? If we talk about casual content do you really mind party constellations at all? Play whatever you have the most fun with. Even for random raids i wouldn't chose my cls for the effectivnes of a grp ill never see again... static and perm farms well... it's a matter of how serious your mates are...

2nd every skill got his place in this game, topics like this show up time by time - talking about "useless" or "wasted" skills... in most cases only the question itself shows that those people haven't got in touch with all the modes the game provides... skills which seem "useless" in casual runs might be life-saver in raids or pvp. therefor i don't get all these "useless" skill discussions...

3rd this thread shows that you took your personal opinion as a fact like the storms eye example which honestly isn't true at all... so well maybe you can clearify your point a bit?
