Item level compression in Heavensward?

[Alipoprocks]

The devs appear to have designed a multi-job game with a single-job loot system.

Level 7 boots. As a level 75. YEARS.

It would be nice to see a little more stat variety, and have specific fights tuned for a certain optimization. Like (using the current super limited stats to form a bad example that at least gets the point across):

Using MNK as an example because reasons:

1) Raid A favors skill speed set because you need to quickly ramp up to GL3 as there are a lot of mechanics that take the boss off the arena.
2) Raid B favors determination set because you have high up time, and need good dps over time.
3) Raid C favors critical hit set because boss ignores X damage from every hit, and only crits do effective damage.

I agree. (Except about the boots. I loved those boots until I replaced them with salvage gear.) That type of example would add more depth and make this game fun again.
