    Rare cases? No 2 DPS jobs use the same gear even within their own role. Ever. Ninja still has to get aiming right side for some reason preventing them from swapping during early prog to other melee dps without starting fresh on gear. Tome weapons are 7 weeks each. Sure you can get the weapons faster if you raid but wait, you can't because your entire team needs them too and it's one drop per week so your still waiting 8 weeks in Savage.

    It is absolutely ridiculous that people still defend this. There is no excuse for the 24man gear that comes out 3 months after savage to be 10ilvl lower AND weekly locked. Either it's 10ilvl lower with no lock or it's 10ilvl higher with a lockout. They need to pick one.

    If you are Johnny 1 job then of course you're gonna say it's fast to gear. When you play several jobs and roles it's an absolute nightmare. You can't even get a single piece of left side Tome gear a week with the 450 lockout. If you wanna play other jobs at a decent pace you're pretty much forced into using alts.

    Are you sure about that?

    SMN and RDM use identical body and accessories, down to the melds, with SMN being able to slip a SpS into their weapon and swap food if they want to go at 2.46s GCD for more consistency in fitting the extra GCD in Bahamut/Phoenix.

    All 3 phys ranged use identical gear, BRD and DNC just put a singular SkS materia on their weapon with BRD using a +SkS food to each hit their desired GCDs. And NIN does use the exact same accessories as the ranged phys in their BiS.

    DRG and RPR have identical gearing in all but weapon no matter their targeted GCD among the ideal ones.

    MNK and SAM are the only evidence of this, and even then there's a compatibility set where you swap the hat and food and both jobs are hunky-dory.
