| Why can't we have a DD job that *isn't* a haste monkey? |
Because S-E didn't limit Haste gear to certain jobs. The fact that all DDs essentially gear the same is mainly due to lack JSE's with job-specific buffs that will outweigh increases to universal stats and actions. The few JSE's with unique buffs we do have, don't provide useful/potent enough buffs to warrant keeping them on full-time.
Personally I don't feel the formulas are flawed; it's the way gear selection was handled that's at fault.
