Why not just make everyone a DPS?

I'm not big on stat homogenization, I prefer the age old str, dex, int, mind. What I would like to see is stats added to gear specific to class. For example, Fending accessories should have

<contd iPhone :X> enmity increases(that'd be a quick fix for PLD aggro problems) or phys/mag def+ so I'm not just stacking Vit.

Yeah I was mad about crit too till I saw the new damage boost tied in now. It's still a good stat but it works very differently. Oh and this is where I found a lot of the newer info. All credits to dervy and friends. He has the new SS gcd reduction values and SS dot damage info too. I had to pull the det from his overall damage formula, and it's for drg so det might not be 100% accurate for other jobs.

Craaaaap. Good old decimal points. Always in the wrong place. Had extra zeros in all my spreadsheets thus my 430 crit to get .1% should have been 10.0%. Derp derp. I r smrt.

Well crap. Wish I had caught that before I melded all my 150 tank accs with skillspeed cuz I thought crit was litterally 100x worse than it is. FML.

I have 744 crit as a SMN.
My current gear is:
Weapon: eso 200
Head: law 180
Chest: eso 200
Hands: law 180
Belt: alex 190
pants: law 180
legs: law 180

accs, all law 180 with 1 170 ring.

I've tried 20 times ruin II on a dummy and only 1 crit proced. I guess RNG is still RNG.

That's an extremely small sample size.

Dungeons in GW were AWFUL the only time I enjoyed them was if they were fractals but even then I hated them. Also all people did was run in full zerker's to make the dungeon go faster. If you had any type of gear besides Zerker's or Soldier's or any different build besides the popular cookie cutter's your group complained. Also Guild Wars had some great PvP FFXIV PvP is fun and all but it's not the greatest what attracts people to play and stick with FFXIV is mainly the raiding content (sorry i'm mainly speaking for myself and guildies here) if you ruin that the game will most likely fall.
