    I don't understand why people think it's so hard to take E4E. You can easily just swap Protect and E4E as needed.

    Basically, SE tried to break the Meta, or in their eyes, fix it, with the role skills. But the issue is that, there will always be a meta, and without coordination, the average player is going to choose the top 5 skills for that job. Swapping out an ability here and there is "fine" but if you need to swap for every instance you encounter its going to get very tedious and forgetful; not to mention who wants to continually swap the slots on their hotbar, wasn't that the very reason for the PvP changes? Choosing the top 5 skills will get you through most content, regardless of who you are with. Those will be skills in the new meta to come. They removed some useless skills (and some useful ones, Sustain), and they replaced/added new useless skills into the role system. There were very few skills in the old cross class system that were "mandatory", so a SCH not having Blizzard II isn't as bad as them not having Cleric Stance; and a DRK not having Bloodbath isn't as bad as not having Provoke. The new Role skills shouldn't be choose 5 it should be once you are at that level you can use it, just like when we level up normally. Then if we choose to place it on our bars or not is our choice.

    I like helping people with their Job ideas, it's fun to help them visuallize and create the job they'd like to play most. Plus I make my own too, I'll post them eventually.
