Thread: Culling and restructuring skills to make room for 5.0 abilities

Agree with the general thrust of this post.

I reckon 30 skills per job is a good number. That's a new skill every other level till level 20, then every 3rd level after that up to the new cap at 80.

That's a good steady rate of progression IMHO, plus it would give us a bit more to play with at the lower end, and 30 isn't an overwhelming amount of abilities.
