    If you did this, you'd also need to rebalance the secondary stats so there were no more stat weights.

    It definitely provides a more interesting dynamic than the current system where very few classes have any choice at all. Sure there will be some classes that have that one best secondary stat over all others, but it will provide a lot more to other classes.

    IE:

    ACC vs. dps stats if you need to hit a minimum accuracy
    PAR vs. ACC vs. dps stats for tanks
    PIE vs. dps stats on blm (i would include piety as a secondary stat)
    Also speed gets more powerful as you stack it. While it starts out weak, speed may get more interesting if you stack speed on all your gear and stat allocation. (I would unify skill speed and spell speed into a single stat, every other stat effects both spells & melee, the split stat here makes no sense to me)

    And no matter what you pick, in most cases it will at least do something. So at least there's *some* choice. Right now, most of the choices are terrible. What's the point of offering INT, MND or PIE to a MNK? It's stupid, they have no use for it whatsoever.
