Regarding Dragoon Gear

i kinda want se to put another job not necessarily a dps on both the maiming and scouting pieces to justify having that many different sets for 'melee'

I've been saying for a while, if we are getting dancer then I think it will be using Scouting gear - possibly even if it's a healer. Dexterity makes sense as the stat that a dancer would need, and if its hypothetical healing relied on specific dance moves then it would still make more sense than mind-boosting Healing gear.

Alongside that logic, a number of Scouting gearsets share models with Healing rather than melee gear - usually to balance the times where Casting and Aiming get the same gear, but the unique-in-that-tier Ghost Barque scouting set is copied from the Star Velvet mage gear. (Meanwhile, casters get a Wind Silk recolour, aimers get Sky Pirate fending gear, and healers get the Lv60 striking/scouting gear.)


Also I double-checked the Rainbow Shirt and it is indeed a unique model. (Garland Tools includes a 'shared models' list in its item data, if there are any.) You can view the 3D model of the item there, too.

that would be awesome if dnc uses scouting pieces it'll give a bigger reason for more unique sets even when it is fending gear that is still 3 jobs that are covered scounting and maiming currently being tied to only 1 job doesn't make sense to put unique models in often

After finishing all Ivalice Raids, I can't believe Yoshi-P and his team entirely ignored the Tactics Lancer set. What the hell is up with that? Instead we got nothing but lazy palette swaps of Tank and Monk gear.
