    Ummm.... What?

    Glamour is a thing. Most gear I don't find fitting of most of the jobs. There's only been 1 samurai set after all, and all pld gets is capes and giant pauldrons.

    It's a ranged dps. It's shares ranged dps gear. Stats are always a mixed bag tier to tier, that's why you mix and match.

    That silly. There is no reason to dismiss the idea of having two pieces of gear with different looks sharing the same stats.

    Honestly it is kind of ridiculous that every job doesn't have their own set of raid gear.

    Even when they do (see af) the stats are random. They don't add stats to gear to make it the best per job. It's always been that way.

    Hell, ninja and drg have their own gear, in your example, and they still have to mix and match raid and tome and crafted gear and the like to get the best Stat combinations.

    The point is to have a set of raid glamour for every job. Most people use random glamours, but I'd expect there to be a set available for every job so you can look like your job.

    It's not feasible to do this all the time. There's a reason they only do job specific af sets once an expansion.

    It seems easily feasible to me. They are already halfway there, but if that is the general consensus then so be it. However, I must ask what is this reason they can only manage this once every few years?

    1. Small indie developer

    2. Nobody wants to deal with the hassle of having to collect 17 different sets of gear every tome/raid/craft tier when they can glam.

    If the dev team had infinite art resources there wouldn't be an issue with viera/hrothgar not displaying all helms, recycled models for dungeon/crafted gear, or some raid/tome sets being pallete swaps of the same set from other rolls. Also every time they add new jobs in an expansion that increases the time needed to make sets for every individual job.

    In addition, people that play multiple jobs tend to like being able to share gear between some jobs. Honestly I wouldn't mind if they did some consolidation with the melee sets as is.
