VIT wasn't calculated into Tank damage until later in the patches, right? Im genuinely asking. I dont remember. Before NIN, DEX was strictly an Archer/Bard stat. SE modified it afterwards. A Chemist in this example could use DEX as its main healing potency stat (throwing potions n all). SE has made changes to stats quite a few times already. For discussion's sake, anything could happen. The DPS role has different stats for determining damage for the different jobs (strength, dex, int...) Why cant healers use different stats too? DPS are split into melee, ranged physical, range magic or whatever. Tanks n Heals could too. Just saying. Arcanist => Scholar/Summoner was a mess but it shouldnt be the excuse for SE as to why branching can never happen again. I love gunplay classes in MMORPGs and would be disappointed if MCH is the only one to play as such in the life of the series.
