Surprise! Keybinds not job specific?

[Saimeren]

Only hotbars are job specific. I've never heard of keybinds being job specific anywhere. Not sure where you got the idea they would be.

This is likely the first game he's played that allows for multiple jobs on the same character.

Most other MMO's save the different keybinds on a character basis, and thus a class/job basis. So in WoW, GW2, SWTOR, TERA, ect. You can have completely different keybinds for each of your classes/jobs.

That's probably where he's getting the confusion.

It seems to me that key bindings should be unique to each job.
This definitely reduces the appeal if leveling new jobs, since I'll have to put up with imperfect keybind setups for all but my main.

Yep. Same with everyone else. You just have to fiddle around with it until you find something that works for all jobs.

Ie. Putting all jobs AoE's on the same button. Putting all job gauge abilities on the same button. All damage reductions or heals on the same button. All movement abilities ect.. Some jobs won't work as well as others, but it's the best we can do.
