While we're on the topic of BW, I'd like to bring up some things where BW can (and should) apply to.
To my understanding, there's a few abilities that are dependent upon weight or equipment to maximize damage/crit/whatever, such as Board Shaker, Fitting Form, Pure Power, etc.
What I suggest is that instead of providing their bonuses based upon weight of equipment or what equipment you have on, have it based upon the % of total BW you have taken up, so it rewards heavier classes for having closer to the maximum BW and punishes lighter classes for having higher BW.
This will provide some neat ways to work around the BW system, and result in a shake-up of the meta.
