Make gear less boring

[KitingGenbu]

How would set boni mitigate job balancing issues? Tanks and healers all use the same gear within the role so any set bonus would apply to the entire role.

When you think about it, gear sometimes has sub optimal stats even at the highest ilvl. With that in mind, you can lean more into certain jobs' strengths in a particular tier. The 'stronger' job will obviously benefit less, but again, any bonus would be better than having none at all. Or even just having additional effects tied to the job's weapon, like lowering the cooldown on certain skills or giving them a chance to proc. Again, anything is better than just 'crit/det' etc only.

You are pretty much always able to get optimal sub stats, it just requires a mix of augmented tome and savage gear.
