Should Melee gear be ...homogonized?

[Morningstar1337]

You don't need to remove gear or anything. We can keep what we have right now with a minor change:

- NIN can use aim gear and DNC/BRD/MCH can use scout gear too.

- DRG can use striking gear and SAM/MNK can use maiming gear. (Sure, physical defense must be standardized in this case but I consider that a very minor compromise).

It's not perfect but better than what we have now IMO.

I feel like I should clarify s few things.

1. I'm not advocating removing existing gear, rather that future gear be designed to be used by all melee jobs
2. More to the point, NIN actually did share Striking gear when it debuted, but only up to a certain point.

I'm aware of both of your points. Just happens that one counter-argument, already used, is "less gear". Something like that is a nice compromise without changing much, at least IMO.
