Ehh, I'm not really in favor of this idea, mainly because after the first skill adjustment, GLA landed with shield skills as part of the "Sword" ability set and I don't see them doing ANOTHER major skill adjustment. Similar things to other classes, ARC has Swiftsong before it unlocks BRD, where they used to have the skill called Fleetfoot(or something like that), which leads me to be think that ARC is meant to be BRD only and GLA is meant to be PLD only.

Besides, in a game that's entire focus is about variance in what a player can do, permanent locking seems counter intuitive.
