Items to make characters unique?

Ahh good thing that there's already a thread about this.. I was going to post a similar topic..

Yes, it would be a great idea to have a bonus effect or status in some gears. It is nice to have an element system going on as well. It's more fun battling while you keep your best damage by using a skill/spell with an element that will counter the enemy's. It's like playing Rock-Paper-Scissor.. Making the game even more exciting! /thumbsup

We're ending up using the same gears in the end, at the current situation..
Additional effects/element in gears is a must! This will give other gears more value other than relying on the stat and gear level. This will give us more unique characters and put more strategies in game.

For example: Primal (Hard Mode) weapons should have their own element; as how they look like, and where they originate. They will be more useful in battles; other than making the older/lower items look like a display in your iventory and taking space..
