Stat boosts with titles?

[PArcher]

In terms of the elitism comment, my issue is that everyone is so fearful of elitism that they come out in hordes against anything that may add some flavour to the game. The people suck in both situations, but at least the elitists are playing a fun game.

This does nothing for adding "flavor" to the game, it actually limits it. You *have* to use the specific titles to give the best bonuses for the group. No choice, groups will just replace you if you refuse. Same thing will happen for more options for stats; the best will be found, and if you do not use that optimal set of gear, you will be passed over for someone who has that gear.

Things that don't affect [group] combat affect the game's "flavor" much, much more. Anything cosmetic, solo buffs (like, crafting and gathering, buffs that only apply when solo or with your Chocobo), overworld enhancements (faster mount speed, FATE bonuses) and so on.
But anything that could be used in raiding and progression to make said content easier does not.

It really doesn't - right now we are severely limited, this would add a form of customization. I'd love to not have our PIE thing double up and swap in my static with my AST buddy - and then swap out for another title when doing non static things.

Anyway whatever.

The solution to the healer stat bonus is simply to have 2 different healer jobs = both bonuses, regardless of healer job. Titles should remain as they are. You're not adding customization with title bonuses, you're adding requirement.
