Its already been said, but class-specific gear exists to give you more trade-offs between choosing a class or a job. Its hard for ppl to accept, but SE is intending that "class" is always a viable choice when tackling content. I approve of class-only gear, I don't see the problem. An arc can still pwn a bard's single-target damage within a party, and a GLA can still out-tank a PLD. So really, let's not be silly here. A class still kicks ass, ppl just like jobs because they are the new flavor of the month. SE gave you class-only gear to remind you that classes have a role. You may not see it now, but time will show you the way!
