No, You May Not Roll on Items for Another Class and Strip Out the Mods

I don't understand how this wasn't in the game already. All 4 classes use their main stat. They get nothing/close to nothing from dabbling in the other stats and only gimp themselves. This isn't like a traditional MMORPG where all spellcasters like int, and all heavy melee like str, and all light melee like agility. There's just stats that work and 3 stats that don't.

Need for your character only

if I am able to press NEED, then i'm allowed to do it

I think the principle reason you get vocal individuals supporting such egocentric behaviour is that they collectively realise that they have to give the impression that their behaviour is accepted by a sufficiently sizeable group of people. Why? Because if they seem isolated then the majority will, rightly, stamp on their faces without hesitation. Fortunately, I suspect we are the vast majority so don't pander or back-down if you're faced with those that want to Need for their absent companion over a player, black-list them and leave because I suspect there's far, far, far more people with your perspective that'll be willing to group. The same cannot be said for the backstabbers and carrions, they'll only get into groups because people are ignorant of their past actions.

Personally, I’d refuse to heal somebody that did such a thing and offer an ultimatum. I will not continue to co-operate with an individual or group of individuals that has no sense of collaborative spirit, it’s a principle I won’t deviate from. If everything is intended as a means to an end solely for your benefit rather than the collective then go play something other than an MMO.

Naturally, I have no objection to those that Need for companions after everyone in the group has given consent or if a companion has contributed to the effort but attempting to equate whimsical notions of re-sale or aesthetics with the quantifiable effects it will have on longevity or damage for the best-suited recipient. I blame these covetous cretins on those akin to Ayn Rand and Milton Freidman; they made being a duplicitous dunce somewhat acceptable again.

Healers get quite a bit from increasing their crit rate.

It wasn't about the crit, it's about the base stats, in this case being Cunning. Warriors get nothing from Cunning.

Reread the original post. The Sith Marauder was needing for his character.

The Marauder can use the jacket, so there's no restriction there. Your idea wouldn't work on the item this thread was created to complain about.
