Another "Maiming" class?

[Lord_Zlatan]

Anyone else feel like there needs to be another Maiming class, one that shares gear with DRG?

I love DRG and never get tried of playing it, but all of my other 70s share gear with another class. Id like to level something that I could share my DRG gear with.

Tend to agree there. I always forget, because I dont play NIN, BRD, or MCH, but are those 3 all in the "Scouting" group?

Scouting is current NIN-only, just like maiming is DRG-only.

Maiming - DRG
Sriking - MNK/SAM
Scouting - NIN
Aiming - BRD/MCH
Casting - BLM/SMN/RDM
Fending - WAR/PLD/DRK
Healing - WHM/SCH/AST

Maiming was made because DRGs have higher physical defense and HP than NIN and MNK but have poorer magic defense.

Right side nin brd mch usually share aiming accessories.

To be honest though I've always wished there was more individual gear. And less generic shared gear....

Gives warriors gear that's warrior themed and dark gear that's dark themed. Rather than just one set that's not really themed for any of them.

Same with everything else. Even striking now. The 320 genta striking set looks great for Sam but totally doesn't fit a monk thematically.

That's kinda what the Eureka sets are for now. The generic sets are for a general theme and for more easily balancable stats.

Except that's not longer quite the case. Dragoons now have the same magic defense as other melee jobs, but still higher physical defense. Honestly I feel like they could just combine their gear sets with Samurai and Monk at this point and eliminate maiming as a set entirely.

Also I was surprised that Red Mage didn't share scouting gear with Ninja as DEX could easily have been a primary stat for that job if it were designed more melee heavy than caster heavy.

They could have, if the class was named Spell Fencer. But it's Red Mage, so it's a caster.

If they ever rolled out dancer, I suspect it would get scouting gear (assuming it's not a healer).
