Honest question: If every player/class/job is equal,who is unique? (Gameplay topic)

We used to have weapons that were, say, 20% piercing 70% Slashing, 10% Blunt, iirc the Macahuitls, for example were Mostly Blunt and Piercing and Daggers were mostly piercing, while the rest of a Gladiator's arsenal were primarily Slashing.

It's a shame that this was never really utilised. Might have made some situations where one weapon was better than another even if it wasn't a higher i-level. But alas, it's far too complicated for us.

That's kinda cute but it's not a mechanic that I feel meshes well with what this game is aiming for. Keep It Simple Stupid etc. But it's very Dark Souls so I appreciate it conceptually.
