While I would also like to have more varied stats, I completely understand the resoning behind those simple stats. They don't want to make any job stand out. They don't want to make anything unique because they don't want people preferring x class over y class because it has access to z enhancement granted by gear. They also don't want the community to exclude people because they don't have that super item that gives regain +10.

I certainly hope it will change with time though, and that eventually we get to see special gear, but since those things can be a nightmare to balance, I'd rather see them working on more urgent things first, such as server stability. Adding special gear sets can wait for an expansion.
