Speaking from the position of having both a well geared BST and RNG. I would have to say what I can do on BST solo is pretty impressive compared to what I can do for a party on RNG. I can understand where Dallas is coming from since I can solo some Abyssea Zone Bosses and Ironclades. I don't think any jobs are throw away but unfortunately the direction SE has gone with some of our favorite jobs and stat bonus are kinda strange. I still don't understand why SE pours the Ranged ACC stat on RNG gear when I didn't need all the RNG ACC I had at 75 let alone the high amount on AF3+2 body. Why can BST AF3+2 body have +18 eva, atk, acc, +7 axe skill, and +2% haste while RNG AF+2 body has +12 agi +12 str +20 RNG acc and -9 enmity? I just don't understand SE sometimes.
