Lancer not able to roll "need" on lancer gear.

I don't like the fact that EA deems themselves the experts on gear selection. If it says LNC, a lancer should be able to roll need. Not having that choice is a step closer to pigeonholing people into roles and removing gear selection even further.

All rings and earrings are labelled as "All jobs", does that that mean LNC should be able to lot on INT earrings on par with THMs and SMNs? Hell no, they have no use for the stat.

DD gear lacks parrying as a stat, tank gear generally lacks determination and/or skill speed at lower levels. The game itself pidgeonholes you into a role, if you wanted to be a tank, you'd level a tank, not gimp it up on LNC and lose hate to a "DD" marauder using lower defence gear.

A pair of hands that would have been an upgrade for my PLD dropped, they had higher defence than my current, couldn't need it, they were statted towards DDs, did I cry? No, I waited for tanking gear to drop and lotted on that instead.
