Cross Role skill slots

[Crushnight]

Given that rampart and shadows kin are becoming a cross role skill how many slots do you think we will get to accommodate the new role feature? Cus if staying 5 that ain't enough for a few jobs given anything that's similar was on the table for cross role system.

The point of the combat refactor is to eliminate having to slot abilities.

No the point is to help the people that for the love of god can't do more that 123 combo.
Make one if not the most easy skill system in mmorpg ever even more so.

Pretty sure giving people access to mandatory skills without having to level a separate job does not do anything for people who can only 1-2-3, those people still will stay the same when this change arrives.

Thee problem you will miss some of the classes you may love much more thsat the one you play now.
But the way things go by 6.0 they can delet any open world make you start at lvl 60/70/80 and have just dungeons.

Taking things from the game is never a good thing. Next there will be no all jobbs on one character? This will help se sell jump potions.

People tend to test drive other jobs after maxing out their focused job so its very possible for someone to discover they like another job more regardless of the cross role system being here or not.

Besides the current system of leveling a job to a specific level can be bummed all the way to the level the skill needs to be unlocked then dropped like a molten rock so some people can end up missing out on discovering a job they like more anyway.

For example: when I needed to unlock swift cast I had to level up THM, I proceeded to fate grind in limsa till I got it then never touched it again for years without ever playing it proper. Could I have liked the class more than summoner? Possibly! Did I have an interest in THM/Black mage? Not really so I didnt explore.

Cross role system just takes away the song and dance of having to drop what you are doing on the class you want to play and level something else just to get your focused class primed. Nothing stops people from trying another class other than just not being interested yet. (and inventory space, that can stop job exploring pretty hard)

Ok i get what you think.
You just ignore the problem.

I personally love cross class skills...

They fill in the gaps left in some jobs/classes that were not well thought out... as an example...

Summoner:
Doesnt' have much to contribute to party play at level 15 and doesn't get their first AoE until level 30 (Bane). So... what do you do in the dungeons before that? Well Bliz 2 is an option for AoE that you can slot. Just toss Bio (a fast cast spell) on all the mobs, then step in and spam Bliz 2, while your DoT is ticking away... bingo... problem solved. Aetherflow and Lifesteal take care of your MP expenditures. And you get Quick Cast to insta summon your pet if it dies.

Scholar:
No real shield... well no problem... you just slot Protect from Conjurer and bingo you're good to go, you also have Aero as an additional DoT to slot. Not to mention Fast Cast for insta-Raise or insta pet summon.

THM/BLM: no Heals, which can be a problem... so you slot Physick from Arcanist.

The new system needs to be able to fit on my mouse. My mouse has 17 buttons and a modifier set that pushes it to literally 41 buttons. Currently I have 5 hotbars for some of my classes meaning I have anywhere from 49-60 buttons at a given time. That's a bit ridiculous.

The new system should reduce it to at most 3 bars (36 slots) and that includes all job/class skills, cross class skills, pet commands, potions, and utilities. Though I'd prefer that be reduced to 2 hotbars (24 slots).

How do you need that many buttons?! I barely fill 3 hotbars for my job skills.
