Please rework Stat Bonuses to be Secondary Stats Instead

Primary statistics are very flat. This would make for much more interesting, fun customization.

Almost every DPS would be pigeon-holed into dumping all the sub stats into Crit and Det (see the Zodiac Weapon relic arc). This is hardly more fun and interesting. Either you optimize and split them Crit/Det depending on gear, or you go sub-optimal and use your sub stats on speed or piety as a DPS.

Not really. There are soft-caps & a hard-cap to meet for various stats, depending on the Job. It'd be more interesting than "all into strength or vitality."

Can you provide a source please detailing the hard caps? The only soft cap I'm aware of is speed skills which can help you squeeze in another GCD attack before a buff goes away etc. I don't believe there are any hard caps to attributes such as Determination and Critical.

Accuracy technically counts as a hard-cap, however subjectively encounter-based.
