This was on of my complaints about enhancing magic effects scaling after cap rose above 75. The spells didn't seem to reflect well due to new conversion equations. By 95 with capped enhancing+gear+merit (16) the bar spells gain a whole 35 resistance. Mitigation from Phalanx hardly climbs at all, and same for enspells, stoneskin requires gear to enhance the spell to gain additional absorption (all combined give +100 capping out at 450). I would half expect another Scaling adjustment to be made to these spells again to make the scaling even worse meaning the higher rank in enhancing becomes almost negligible to where it soon becomes only 1 point difference every 40 skill which is about the difference in skill by 95.

I think if anything SE needs to take a look at the scaling first off so that the different ranks each job has will have noticeable differences before trying to add any type of passive trait or straight-out JA that increases enhancing magic. Composure is nice, but as skill goes over the 400, nearing 500 with gear it is obvious that there really is no difference between ranks in this category let alone reason to keep using +skill gear when casting when it is such a large tier gap.

I mean the Phalanx debate is reason enough. I mean come on...4 point difference when rdm has that much more enhancing over a pld is really quite sad.
