The "rigid" class-job or by-level skill acquisition need not be a universal requirement. It's a job that won't be unlocked until having reached the tail of the previous expansion, thereby providing all but some 2 options alternative to it if one doesn't want to take the extra time to do what we find thematic for a BST.
