Aye, I agree with alot that has been said here. Variety in your skills is a major contributor to how fun a game is, not only between classes, but between each individual playing style. Every warrior shouldn't be using the same skills, you should have freedom to tailor your abilities to your play style. Obviously trying to implement hundreds of skills, all balanced and viable, is a nightmare for developers, but it really does flesh out a game's combat system. Just like everybody's said, no one likes to hit the same skill buttons over and over again.

I have a friend who plays a Warlock on WoW, if I remember right, and whenever I watch him play, he vocalizes his strategies. He'd always say "3 4, 3 4." He had two abilities he used, basically. All he ever did during PvP was run up to someone, press 3 and 4 to cast his two Damage over Time spells, then run away. Run up, 3 4, run away. Every time, I ask myself 'How is that fun?' That's the kind of thing I'd hate to see happen to Aion. Nobody should just be pressing "3 4" over and over.
