VIT will scale with attack power, STR will scale but not as much

[Sapphidia]

This probably removes all choice from gear and you will no longer change accessories to adapt to the situation. It's what I expect from the XIV battle team but I'm still disappointed.

I can understand the disappointment, but bear in mind we're the only job that ever had any choice in the first place. You didn't see Dragoons swapping between Crit and SkS sets based on encounters, or Monks having Vit for one fight or Str for another. Every other class got away with one gear set for ALL content. They don't seem to like choice or personal preference in classes in FF.

We'll still get to tailor our damage out/in via choice of how often we stance swap into DPS at least. And let's face it, our choice of gear wasnt really THAT much of a choice - it was strength all the way unless healers whined. At least with this change we'll see our health pools rising steadily as we get better gear.
