Then I can conform to the raging nerds' desires and still be happy looking like my job.
I want to clarify that I do want to get better stats and improve my play potential. However, I shouldn't be damned for wanting to stick to the iconic gear for one's job. It's painful when armor that was specifically designed for a job isn't the best that can be acquired. It would probably be less frowned upon if they still had their unique stats like in 1.0 (Example: Enhances "Regen" Effect).
