Jobs on strange Equipment

[Vortex]

Roundal earring being equipable by DRG and PUP, jobs that have NO healing spells whatsoever. not even enough to support it. yet SCH is missing on it.. as well as BRD who can actualyl GET a good use out of it depending on sub and gear but is also not on it.


riddle me this.

or better yet Gaudy Harness under 49 mp you get refresh on brd/bst and those jobs don't have any MP or castable spells on their own.

That's just above the cost of a Cure III spell, and both jobs sub White Mage at that level. It's an extremly good piece of armor imo and logical to have the latent refresh on it.

PUP on throwing weapons.

Well at least they have the skill.... yeah it makes no more sense. Blue Mage's Job Specfic weapon is a discus from the ENM which makes no sense when they have no skill...

pup on anything... particularly below 75... why do pups get magey type gear rather than anything that would actually boost it's melee capabilities in any way? at least I have gear waiting for it at 90...

PUP was originally Necromancer, which was a mage class.

@DRK on shield:

It's obvious.

@In General:

Why is it jobs that can benefit from something, especially if its their main form of some way of providing to a party either through cures or what have you are never on the gear it could use? For example, DNC could benefit from Homam..quite a bit back before the cap raise and the "gear in mind for DNC and SCH" never came to fruition.

PUP was not released as a Necromancer. It was released as a Puppetmaster. Do you not see the flaw in that argument? lol

You may want to reread it:

PUP was originally Necromancer, which was a mage class.

Before it was released as PUP, it was being designed as Necromancer, which was a mage class. Their excuse for not using it was "undead out in the day/power scaling during x,y,z hours". The way they seem to have set jobs is with select pieces, all jobs are just thrown in a bracket of armor types, so they'd have to go back and redo PUP's armor selection which would have delayed ToAU, besides the focus is your automation and it suffers the same fate almost all jobs does lower levels anyway.

PUP has some good pieces thrown around through the levels, it can even wear Usu gear.

Well yeah 75 and up it's got a much wider selection of useful gear to enhance the player. The puppet itself is not the issue as you can beef it up early on by simply buying all the attachments. Honestly it would have been better to just go with the release of Necromancer as 'originally intended' rather than changing the job at the last minute and maintaining the same line of useless equipment. I'm aware jobs utilize armor based on their type and not their potential usefulness toward one's capabilities. I don't need any logical reasoning. The fact still remains. It just sucks.

How did everyone miss Rdm and Pld on Destroyers.

The more educated jobs are able to equip the axe so they can enjoy reading the runes on it, obviously.
