I agree with this to an extent. I think there should be more hero class gear but it should be centered around the role of the class chosen. Ideally it would be great if every class got armor and weapons specific to it's strengths. I'll try to stick to archer and xbow as those are the classes touched on so far.
For warden I agree - a lightweight armor and quick bows to maximize the running around shooty'ness. Ranger - heavy armor and slower strong bows would be interesting and promote the idea of staying behind the cades as a sniper and acting as a supporting shielder when the time came. Sentinel - 1h weapons (obviously
), medium/light'ish armor with decent protection; not as light as warden but not as tough as ranger.
To me the main draw of a hero class is not just the stat increase in certain areas, it is the ability to use unique gear that you otherwise could not equip. As an archer t4 ability is pretty good. With a good bow and arrows you can deal great damage and get quite a number of kills. The same can be said for any class. This is why I think the hero classes should get gear that compliments the style of how that class should be played. If you want to equip the best bows and xbows available you should have to be warden/chosen marksman. If you want the best possible 1h weapon then sentinel/legionnaire/adventurier. Best slashing weapon - zwei.
As it stands right now there are too many items that are usable by every (hero) class which are better than the class locked ones. There are also hero classes (like warden) which are currently completely lacking in any sort of unique item. In my opinion there is very little reason to use a hero class unless you get access to better gear which supports your play style.
