why am i so gimped now?

With all due respect, my friends, try doing any of your old leves at 5 star rank, then come back and honestly tell us, if you haven't noticed any issues.

If you're past 35 and still using your "dated" gear, there's your problem. Your performance is greatly gear based now and will need materia.

uh, yeah? whats the difference?

The difference is that they changed all the stats.
notice the level 50's have almost 3k HP in the screens now?
That also translates to everything including accuracy etc etc.

So basically we have to dump all "dated" items into the trash can and buy all freshly crafted items?

conjurer is jacked too

What is your rank?
I think they mention about growing curve according to rank. My rank 50 classes DoW/DoM/DoH got so much HP now, 2500-3500. lot of MP, and Mp syphon drain 400 Mp lol!

Afraid so, just imagine all the people who has the wards full of "dated" items, and even worst, those who just bought new high lvl gear a couple of days ago (like myself), just to find out that now is totally useless.

Though there may be a little ray of hope, MAYBE the dated gear we own can somehow be used in the materia process to craft better gear. Lets wait and hope for better.

It's like we've been reverted to FFXI standards of character growth.

Rank 10 Valkurm Dunes parties anyone?

The dated PGL weapon I'm using does show it's gaining soul, but if it's hopeless trying to kill mobs with it, then there isn't any reason to keep it around in my opinion. I guess I better write down some of the new recipes and start replacing what I can.
