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.

What problem exactly? 1-2-3 people have no connection to cross role system removing the issue of leveling multiple classes/jobs just to fully utilize one and people will play another class when they want to and a system forcing you to level another class/job does not fix the 1-2-3 group nor will it let someone find their dream class/job if they dont have interest yet. Level x and y to maximize z makes leveling other jobs for mandatory spells and skills feel like a slog and not like a path to your dream class/job more often than not.

If you are worried about someone not discovering the job they like more than the one they are currently playing you should be more upset at the massive inventory problem that arises when you try to level multiple job types.

No the problem of making the game even more easy.
Its a really boring skills system. Now its going to be dead boring.
What be the next thing they do for 5.0? Tske some more skills for this ?

Its not that its making it more easy its making it less annoying since no one wants to start leveling something only to stop to level a class they didnt want to play. Leveling another job for a helpful but optional addition to its skill/spell list is one thing and an acceptable one at that but mandatory and important skills and spells that should already be on a job in the first place? Thats a nasty flaw that even old time mmos never had. A job should ALWAYS have its full kit.
