I know my monk is at 99 base str and I could have sworn that was before I put the final point into it (for my pup and drg which arent capped).

So if its just hp you are concerned about....meh, try being an elvan mage outside of abyssea with a cure spell that takes litterally 1/5 your mp bar or a nuke that drains 1/4th of it.

No, my blm has 101 base int.

I agree, Abyssea is all about who has the most HP

But they need to increase the hp of all races not decrease them

Attribute differences are trivial, especially in abyssea where everyone's stats are inflated. HP/MP has always been the biggest difference.

Max HP has always been a far bigger concern than max MP. One of my primary jobs is summoner... I still have more MP than I could try to use. Despite haivng the most, the job really doesn't need as much as it gets (and INT is also totally irrelevant to a summoner)

Not really. Max hp does absolutely nothing, unless you are in danger of being one shotted, which is basically never, except on things like rapido, which will oneshot you regardless of your max hp.

I just think its funny that I have more HP without cruor buffs then tarus have with cruor buffs.

You have over 2k hp without buffs? Or are you comparing galka mnk to taru smn?

As stated on the first page, base stats outside of MP/HP taru were nowhere near the most FUBARed and MP is and always will be more important than HP. lol@implying hate is hard to cap regardless of your HP, one more attack round for a taru THF which is what? 1.3 seconds?

MP efficiency mattered for most of FFXI's history, but since it doesn't in Abyssea, it may be instructive to look at WoW raiding to see what Elitist Jerks and Tankspot have to say. People have been debating it for 6 years now, but nobody has been able to satisfactorily debunk the claim that in a situation with functionally unlimited MP, the only thing that matters on the tank (or anyone taking damage for that matter) is Max HP. The difference between being dead in 3 full-strength hits and 4 full-strength hits is huge, and to argue that the split between Galka HP and Taru HP doesn't matter is insane.

ITT: Still not sure how damage calculations work. Or maybe I'm wrong and the amount of times being killed in one more hit happens a lot more to people other than what I've seen/experienced, I just don't know.

this needs to be sorted out, im tired of being a Lv90 taru NIN with all 6 abyssites of merit and only having 2.1-2.5k HP and a hume friend of mine has 4/6 merit abyssites with over 3k HP on a BLU >.>
