I get that it should probably be relatively slow to gear the first job to BiS, but I wish there was a system to quickly catch up alt jobs once you've hit BiS on one. I'm doing the savage dungeon with people from my static and 2 of the people that I'm doing with are our tanks. So one tank switched to his next most geared job, reaper. I can play RDM at a pretty high level but we're stuck with 2 melee in the dungeon as I'm our group's NIN and am BiS on the job and have like, 1 piece of savage gear for RDM. I can buy a few pieces for RDM this week with books, but because it's one of the few jobs that needs 3 left side tome pieces, it's going to be a long journey to actually get the job geared.

Even just making it to where I could modify a stat on a piece of raid gear would be a huge help, because so much of the raid gear is awful for RDM. Why can't I just get my BiS gear you know, FROM THE RAID? haha Why isn't the best gear I can get for my job from the end game content I'm doing? This far into the tier my group has started having drops that go in the trash because very few jobs use certain pieces. (looking at you, gloves) I get that the other casters benefit from sps so that's why some gear has it, but why does some of the SCOUTING gear have sks on it when NIN doesn't want it at all? You know, scouting, the gear that only one job in this entire game uses has a stat that NIN just doesn't use on it? Even just being able to modify raid gear to have actual useful stats on it would speed gearing alt jobs significantly as you wouldn't be locked behind tomestones or battling people to the death for twines/glazes. It would also make it less soul crushing when you run into what my group did where you have 3 straight weeks of double glove drops and 0 boot drops when the bulk of jobs this tier need boots instead of gloves.
