More choice is better for this type of game.
Choice is already there. Donｴt focus. A battlemage with strength 15, intel 10 and speed 10 is quite easy to acheive, can wear a lot of different gear (importantly - high level sarongs) and is still powerful enough.
Only min/maxed characters face difficult gear choices. Opposite to your statement the game actually encourages hybrids, as crowd control is its decisive battle factor.
