I didn't see a huge difference between the solar and lunar variations except for a few which were really just a matter of 360 degree AOE or straight forward AOE (or push vs. pull). Yes, the system is unique in terms of looks and variety in skill animations so you don't have to see the same skill over and over in a row somewhat, but otherwise I'm just not seeing as interested in the class mechanics as I was previous revamps and classes. It certainly is a good class, don't get me wrong, it has a bind apparently in 4th job and at the moment has really good %s, but overall it just seems to be missing something.
IMO, they really should make the two versions of every skill completely different, rather than do so for just a few skills.
On the Solar/Lunar buffs, I think it'd be less...wasteful if they gave Solunar Time a short duration along with a cooldown so that Falling Moon and Rising Sun don't become completely obsolete. Maybe nerf Falling Moon and Rising Sun, and give Solunar Time a passive to buff the two to their current levels.
...well, since Solunar Time is in 4th Job along with that passive that buffs Falling Moon and Rising Sun, I say push all three buffs down a tier, nerfing them a little. Or merge Falling Moon and Rising Sun into a single "mode switch" skill in 2nd Job, and shift Solunar Time down to 3rd. Using the "mode switch" skill while unbuffed would place you in Lunar, and using it while buffed would rebuff you so you'd be in the other mode...or something like that.
