Request: Could we get more Job-themed gear?

[Riardon]

With classes being done away with in SB, there is a high chance Thief can make an appearance in a later expac, I really want this to be true since I gravitate towards the Thief characters more in RPGs.

Classes aren't going anywhere in SB. They already said it's something they discuss to change in 5.0 but nothing is certain. Please look forward into (in ~2 years from now).

I'd love to see this. No issue here with gear like this being restricted.

[Daranion]

Make it restricted to the job it looks like and I'm all for it!More iconic gear is always a plus for me

[ZhaneX]

I'd like more Job-Restricted Gear than once per Expansion too. Not only because their style is often the best... but because it would also mean I could be a bit more variable with my glamours than the current system allows. It's a win-win!

I wouldn't mind more job-specific gear. However there is one problem. The devs would need to make it so that each job has it's own glamour. If they added more job restricted gear, but didn't separate whm from sch from ast, for example, then your sch would look great, but whm and ast would be a miss-matched mess, like how it is right now.

While I wouldn't mind there to be equipment that looks like it would be best for a certain job, I don't want to see them return to pigeon-holing. I hated it when I could only use the Kirumu coat on my ranged DPS. Loved it when they added it for all classes in the form of the Urumu coat (or however it's spelled).

Granted, that coat isn't very job specific, but it's an example of wanting to use a restricted gear piece on a job that can't use it. I want to see as little of that as possible.

I'm all for more job specific gear, tired of all the generic shared sets

[Vexander]

Well, we had this with the Esoteric Tomestone sets back when they were current. Each job had its own look (I believe, might be wrong). I wouldn't mind seeing more of that, perhaps even as a crafted addition. However, one has to balance the cost of resources for developing content as well. Each expansion adds more classes, which would increase the number of sets to be added. If SE just started taking existing gear and modifying it slightly, I think people would call it a lazy cop out. There's a demand for re-imagined versions of Job specific gear.

I also agree, I see no reason to keep crafter/gather gear locked.

in some cases I think they already do... have you noticed how many of the "insert name of maiming" pieces look virtually identical to the "insert name of fending" equivelants
in some cases you can see the same thing with scouting and striking sets. and even the healing and casting sets. sometimes almost identical in every sense but colour.. like the yaefemi healer and casters set for example. almot exact same thing just different color..

but yes i'd love more job specific armor. one of my problems with a lot of the gear recently Is it doenst really fit the theme of a job. there aren't very many sets that actually look fitting of a ninja for example.

then you get the hellfire fending which doesn't look like it fits any of the tanks thematically. same with shire, and well veirtually everything because its all shared.

Uh, they would be totally unusable for glamour, just like AF armor. Who in their right mind is gonna glamour PLD gear on their tank set and watch the WAR and DRK glams look like trash?
