I look forward to what changes the upcoming update to classes/jobs have that might affect ARC playstyle or abilities.

Thanks again for your reply!
No problem, now the caps do indeed apply to all, but the way stats are calculated, it is an extrememly complicated and broken system. An Archer, being a bowman, naturally has good accuracy, where a lumbering Marauder with his huge axe-of-crushing-stuff is slow, and misses a lot. These are just stereotypes to the kinda class/weapon you have. But these seem to play a roll in stats as well, since like I stated before, I have used as little as 50 DEX on Rank 50 Archer with no discernable difference in how much I hit or miss. On Marauder, however, the difference between 40 - 100 actually becomes quite noticeable (it seems that with removing the race base stats that were around in FFXI, there are hidden base stats per classes, or perhaps just a strong affinity towards certain stat allocation.) Either way, the playerbase and development team have both admitted that the stat allocation system as-is, is needlessly complicated and broken.
