Uhm...to be fair here, NIN and BRD/MCH only have gear competition in the accessories - same with DRG and MNK. Their entire left side gear including belt is separate. Note that content like the 24 man raids don't even drop accessories, so it only becomes relevant in normal dungeons (where people rarely ever need the gear) and the first raiding turn (where accessories typically drop). I'm not entirely sure that these two cases are enough of a factor to make them base their new jobs main attributes on them, but we'll see.
