Are role actions a nerf?

[Leigaon]

I don't see it so much as a nerf, it allows them to possibly create powerful role based skills later on, whether it's these or new ones because they know we can't have all of them. Still....

Well, 1 month after game, there's gonna be à méta, and all classes will have the 5 same cross-skill so... *shrug*

This, if it's one thing most people are good at it's telling others exactly what should be the norm. We will have a set skill list and yes you will have some people who don't go by it, and some who do. Just like now you have some who do their rotations and some who don't. We will have a staple, whether it's overall or within certain content. The second the first Mr. Happy video comes out and says "We needed both Healers and Casters to have Erase and Esuna" the world will go "You need it..100%..no other way man..no other way."

I think healer is just the easiest one to pick on. We still don't know a lot of things, how the existing skills are adjusted. This could make changes in how we see these role based skills.

I can understand the concerns, not having something you've been so use to for so long is hard to see it go. Then again, if things are that bad they will change it. They seem to have an idea and a mindset to how this will work out, we need to let it play out. I'll admit I'm on the fence about Esuna. I'm so comfy having it, to think it might not be there because I forgot isn't a great feeling.

On the other hand I wonder how often am I going to use Break...so I feel it will always be there.

One thing I'm noticing in all of these threads, people are talking about certain actions being gone that weren't mentioned in the live letter. Are we sure these are gone or are we speculating they're gone because we don't see them on Yoshi-P's Hotbar?
