The dungeon loot dilemma

In my experience, I've noticed that the need/greed gear has changed to reflect the stats on the item. Yes, technically the aetherial gear can be worn by all those classes, but what were the stats like? Did it have +parry or something like that on it? A LNC or DRG wouldn't need +parry so the piece of gear is actually situated towards a tank more than a dps.

Does that make sense?

Kind of like this.. I'm a Bard. There is gear that is just for BRD/ARC, and then there is gear that can be worn by any DoW. But that doesn't necessarily mean the DoW gear is meant for me. I greeded a buccaneer's shirt from Dzemael the other day, and technically I can wear it on my bard, but I wouldn't want to because it has +strength and something else I don't need or use. I greeded it for my DRG.

This is probably the case with the gear you are talking about. Even though it says DRG/LNC as some of the classes that can use it, I think SE tweaked it so if it has +parry or something else that is really only tank-type stat increase, than only a tank can Need it.

As for the green items, I have no idea. I ran Halitali once during EA and got Doctore Harness and Doctore Grimoire. Never went back

At least someone can understand and provide useful information.

I did not know that they changed loot rollings from class based to stat based. I didn't get a good look at the stats, but that would make sense in why only greed and pass were available.

thank you for that.

Now if only they'd fix that with mage gear. Its frustrating to be on blm and lose a piece of gear you need to a whm, just because it has like 2-3 mnd on it, when the thing is geared more towards int -.-

Not sure why they thought it was a good idea to just lump all the mage jobs into one group for gear and let them all be able to hit need on it. I noticed with DD gear, you can't need if its not geared toward your job, but for mages it doesn't seem to have that, at least not yet anyways. But a better idea would just put the job on the gear that can use it, like a piece drops and instead of "Disciple of mage" it should say "THM / BLM" or something. It'd still be frustrating to not see your gear, but less than someone else grabbing it after your 20th time seeing the thing drop lol
