New Gear... for class only? [Glaring Issue] [Request]

[Endemerrin]

I concur. I've yet to find a situation where my class is more beneficial than my jobs for soloing, even more so due to the fact that my Darklight gear is job only. Even then, I find it easier to play the jobs than I do the classes.

The fact this gear that entices us to play classes and is arguably more expensive and difficult to obtain than Darklight (which only requires a solid group and a bit of luck) just doesn't seem right.

I'm not saying I want to see this stuff easier to obtain, but I want it to be useful like the OP has said. Even if I had this gear, I don't think I'd want to play my classes over my jobs in 95% of situations.

Arguably nothing. You can get this stuff solo and a lot more quickly than darklight - and it's meldable. It's fine for what it is and should continue to be restricted to classes.

100% Agree with Brannigan on this point. This gear is much easier to obtain than Darklight. 100K is chump change. It's meldable and class specific. So what? They have JSE for jobs, and CSE for classes, seems logical to me. You might as well argue for making AF armor usable by classes LOL.

I think SE is going for "Diversity" in that maybe players will be tempted to use classes as much as jobs if given appropriate gear. Move along, nothing to see here...
