Cross-Class - System = Is it Cancer?

[Saccharin]

Why do we -need- Protect, anyway? It doesn't really add any value to the game. It's a buff you apply at the start of the dungeon, and you ignore it unless someone dies. They could rework it so that it's a spell that offers more engaging play for WHMs.

I thought the same with buffs in WoW and they removed them in their latest expansion. I now miss them, it feels odd zoning into a dungeon and not using Mark of the Wild on the party. I'd like more buffs introduced in FF14.

Yes.

It forces me to waste time leveling classes that I am not at all interested in (looking at you, Lancer..Thaumaturge), just so that I can get an "optional" cross-class skill that is in reality, completely NECESSARY for the classes I AM actually interested in playing to function at its best.



thankfully they are doing away with it in 4.0. can't come soon enough.
