Its not arbitrary. Each job has a number of options for equipment that a player can choose from. Some choices are obviously better than others for classes. But the choices are there. If the Rune Fencer was never meant to use a shield EVER. Why is it able to use Pelte, Faerie Shield, Flat Shield, Tortoise Shield, Nymph Shield, Spellcaster's Ecu, Astral Shield, Astral Aspis, Chanter's Shield and Sors Shield?
The point I am asking is for is not a massive game changer here. Yet you all think I am asking for a complete game changer.
