What should be looked at, however, are the itemizations. When legendary staves grant Dex and axes give Int, there are problems. Even boss and chest loot has issues, I've seen bosses drop junk that nobody in my party uses, to the point that Jahan and Roderick are still sporting low-level robes and staves, Scarlett's dagger and gear have gone as far as five levels without seeing an upgrade, and only Madora has consistently enjoyed dropped gear upgrades. The exception seems to be neck items, I keep getting +Int ones.
Mages, strangely enough, suffer from gear issues twofold. Melee combatants can craft and enhance their own gear at least, but mages don't have that boon; they can't make robes nor enhance staves with mage-beneficial enchantments, they don't have tenebrium boosts and high-level spells have issues that were pointed out in another thread.
Unique loot also has another issue: there are no unique armors I've seen so far. At all.
