DH and Ranger I can see the argument for, but RM and Aquamancer are quite strong even without this, so I'm iffy on those.
For Summoner, Bonder gets +3 WIL/FAI so there's no reason the other 2 shouldn't get something either.
For Boxer, it gets DEF% from WIL at a heavily reduced rate that is mitigated by having points in DEF to begin with, it is effectively a variable percentage DR that is almost barely equivalent to Weathered Body, let alone what Monk can achieve with +5 STR/WIL from Woki and +3 CEL/SKI from their passive.
Ghost gets a +6 RES passive and +48 HP passive. Kensei gets a +3 STR SKI passive while both of these classes can apply for Vent Petale too (yes even Kensei). There is no reason Firebird shouldn't have a passive too.

I'd agree with some MA classes, and maybe ST
Again like above, Hexer and Evoker get +6 stat passives, in addition to a 10% HP buff for Hexer too for only 1 point. There is no reason for RM to not get a passive too.
In the same vein as above, DH is the only soldier that doesn't have a +6 stat passive. Unless you count Bonus Bloodshed which is lvl 1 of an enchant iirc.
And once more, Priest gets +6 FAI, +5 WIL/FAI, while Lantern Bearer gets +6 RES in as well in addition to the Aegis passive, there is no reason for Aquamancer to not get a passive too.
This is why I put this thread in suggestions, the correlation between these classes getting additional quality of life passives doesn't actually spell out why certain classes are strong, some of the strongest classes in the game have stat passives up the ass (Like BK or Engineer) or simply don't (Like RM or Firebird)
