Gear locked to specific classes

[Felis]

Only up to ilvl 100. Poetics and WoD have separate gear for monk and ninja, so it's moot.

Only 1.0 - 2.3 gear.
Gear from the new expert dungeons (ilevel 100) is not shared between NIN and MNK

sharing gear:
pro - need less slots in the armory chest
contra - less freedom for glamouring

unsharing gear:
pro - more freedom for glamouring
contra - need more slots in the armory chest

Best solution:
multiple sharing gear with same ilevel and stats, but different name - people can choose if they want more of it for glamouring or only one to save gear slots

example:
Demon Robe Of Healing I
Vitality 47
Mind 45
Spell Speed 44
Piety 23
Accuracy 9

Item Level 120
Required Level 50
Requires CNJ WHM SCH

Demon Robe Of Healing II
Vitality 47
Mind 45
Spell Speed 44
Piety 23
Accuracy 9

Item Level 120
Required Level 50
Requires CNJ WHM SCH

or just give the option to put multiple glamours on the item and pick which job uses which glamour

and just like that, you have the war af1 set on your tank gear and can still play pld without looking like a total doofus

A lot of classes share gear and no, a palette swap does not make it entirely new gear.

Either way you can cast glamour so why don't you?

Because you can't glamor your WAR to look different than your PLD for example Can't, due to unique flag, have 2 chests the same glamored differently.

As someone who has been using both tanks more and more (war main, but can/will use pld when necessary), having the same gear for both is a godsend. Sure the glamour system could be better, but I prefer to be able to use what I need to be able to complete content efficiently rather than just look good

And, it's not like pld and war need different stats. STR specced with DPS secondary stats (LITTLE/NO PARRY) is best for both

A nice feature would be the option to create glamour sets, maybe with the use of grade X things when you have to change, so the market would be untouched but at least it would be possible for us to use different setups. It's a let down that with so many glamour options we are required to waste so much time in changing it when we feel like it.

[FranSeara]

I still miss the old Myth Days. For my Scholar/Whm I always glamore the Scholar AF gear over new Healer gear. This way my Scholar has her own look while my Whm has the new Healer gear look. I Want each job to have their own gear set(s) again. Maybe then we Smns wont be nerfed by spell speed meant for Blm.

[Meier]

Yes, the jobs all need their own gear. I am tired of my smn having the same bland stat/gear as blm.

We need more stat options and SEPRATE GEAR. lol

The problem is glamors fall apart if you glamor JSE stuff over non JSE stuff. For example, my WHM AF glamored over healer gear doesn't work when I change to SCH.

I'd also be supportive of changing the glamor system to allow job-specific glamors... but I like the OP's idea. Separate gear for tanks and healers. Having so many DPS sets also means there's less chance of healer and tank gear dropping.

I'll wait for an expansion of the Armoury Chest slots before I agree to this idea.
