I completely disagree. Aside from a few number that you need to pass the threshold to get a small percentage, there is really a lot of versitility if only you know how and what you wanted to do with the job. I'll use a tank as an example. You have the option to put more points into str, which increase your damage, which you get the most out of for your enimity generation. OR you could simply put more points into vit so you can take those hard hits. There is a min you need to pass for end game, past that, you can do what you want with your points. It's your game style, you do what suits you. If you don't believe me, play around with i90 pentamelded gear and see what you can get out of it. You'll be surprised. The reason people follow the crowd of putting points into main slots now is because this game is so new, it's hard to know exactly how the system computes a lot of stat allocation. It's "safer" to go mainstream, but as soon as you step outside that, you'll find a whole nother world out there. Good luck!
