The new Ilvl

[Kaaylryn]

I do like the gear being gradual increases for difficulty of content. Best gear should be from Coil. However, if they homogenize gear again, say caster gear: ss + det, or ss + crit, may not be good for both summoner and black mage per se. Or whm and sch, SS vs crit, det vs piety, etc. I don't see this having a good ending unless they drop tokens for specific class gear. Unless they homogenize the need for specific stats for specified spells, I think this may be a problem.
As it is now, BIS scholar is almost all Myth tome gear. I don't see how this will be effective for both healing classes or both casting classes. I am sure other dps or even tank gear will have the same concerns. Maybe there is something I am missing?

All of your concerns are completely valid and I can sympathize with you. However, if they are going to homogenize the gear, it just means that we will have less stat synergy for some classes. People are still going to go for the highest ilvl gear to max out their main stat.

Yoshi did mention something about being able to customize your weapon's stats in the context of future gearing, but that won't be applying to coil drops etc., though.
