The Illusion of Choice

[Darkstride]

We don't need a new system, we have a system, we need more diverse raids to encourage variety within the system. At least, if this concept is something you're FOR you would want that.

But stats have such a lack of depth, what kind of content would they create that you would need different stats for? They don't do anything unique or different...it pretty much boils down to which stat is weighted the heaviest for your job and have you maxed it yet....

Stats in FFXIV are too job/role specific to the point where you suffer if you don't max your primary one. A Dragoon has no use for Mind, Piety, Int, Dexterity, etc because they legitimately do absolutely nothing for that job...because we have a system that is limiting. There's no raid mechanic that will make any of those stats more useful for a job that can't even use them.
