If I had to chose a mage state to sacrifice for other stats then it would of been FC. Spells already go off at lightening speed, the only people I can see wanting more are the /NIN soloists and their the people that screwed up RDM to begin with.

Honestly, with Tanaka in charge, I'm expecting +CHR and VIT on our Enhanced Relic gear. Every piece of gear that has been created since he took charge of FFXI again is marginally better then Emp / Abyssea gear, most of it is worse. I'm expecting +1 point higher in stats and possibly (a long shot) a 1~3 increase in the skill pieces.

I know I sound negative but with Tanaka as the lead we're heading back into 2009 FFXI.
