Who Plays Class at level 50?

Your gear will have to be either Coil gear or Soldiery tome gear. Weapons would be either Coil weapon or Leviathan weapon.
But one of the main incentive to using class over job is the cross-class skills, which you will need to work on. Your ARC, PGL and LNC are all locked (and you can use PGL skills on WAR).

Until then, keep that soulstone on so you get your stats boost.

This is why they need crafted gear that keeps up with dungeon/raid/job gear. ilvl 100-110 gear that could be pentamelded with materia would be able to help fill the stat-gap and create some unique party dynamics.

You can't use relic weapons with a class... That's so far the most annoying thing for classes.

I play classes just to make derps playing jobs(poorly) look bad.

For example, CT, you're an ilv80 ACN, your OT is wearing minimal gear, only the Dragoon is overgeared to about ilv90, and you have to help out at Atomos because your party is heavy on range/casters, land an LB while Atomos is invulnerable, and still finish first, twice (because one group fucked up and everybody wiped). And then later downing Vassago first out of all the groups, meanwhile still being able to take care of all the bombs spawned around your area. Yeah. It kinda gives you a rather satisfying feeling that you're doing GREAT.
