    Also, while I understand the idea of giving high DDs a leg up on weakness on paper, I am coming up short with any real practical application for it. Any fight where I can imagine getting one person unweakened two minutes quicker would actually matter involves Embrava, so they're screwed anyway.

    If you want a third, call it "getting a luxury item". Which isn't denied to people spending 80-100M on upgrading weapons to have a couple more stats (and that opportunity cost), so why deny it to WHM's and BLM's?
    Like I said, if FFXI players actually understood opportunity cost the game would probably have to shut down.

    EDIT: I DO believe there is economic value to luxury items and the value of such items in FFXI weirdly parallels the value they have in the real world; having a 95 Empyrean won't help you get to Floor 100 of Nyzul, for instance, but it will open the door to other people who have 95 Empyreans, which WILL help you, for sure. But then we all remembered this was a video game, and if a 95 Ukon gets you the access of a degree from Harvard Business, a TP Bonus Great Katana is a degree from the University of Michigan Med School.
