Bonus stats are pointless

[Ticklefairy]

The purpose of the Armory System, and the main advantage FFXIV has over other games, is that you only need to make ONE CHARACTER and you can do anything and everything on that one character. Want to be every crafting class? Sure, no problems. Every gatherer too? Sure no problems. Every job? Yes, except SCH/SMN you have to choose.

DL chest/leg gear has primary stat values of 20
CT chest/leg gear has values of 25
DL head/hands/feet has primary stat values of 12
CT? 15

15 INT is like upgrading your chest,legs,head, and hands/feet in terms of improving your main job be it dps/healing/tanking

That is huge.

And before anyone cites "lol CT gear is endgame?" This showing the i70 to i80 jump. The principle is the same from i80 to i90. WHERE EVER your gear is at the moment, 15 more in your primary stat is just going to make your numbers flat out better. End of story. People gorge themselves on food that gives less stats than that for an advantage.
