Which means you most likely still want to gear alt jobs you're actually playing, it's just no longer completely crippling your ability to do content on a job you haven't geared yet.

Basically it means if you're the flex person in a static like me, if someone is out for the week and you pick up another person who is most comfortable tanking and needs the off tank spot, you can flex over to replace the healer or DPS who is out without suddenly being 20 iLvls below everyone else.

But yeah I'll probably continue my tank -> DPS -> healer prioritization for gear unlocks even under the new system.
