Long Shot Request: Piety

Heya! So Piety is... considered a dump stat by a lot of people. And I want to change that by adding more to Piety than what it does.

What it currently does:

-Increase MP

What I want it to do:

-Increase MP
-Increase MP Regen Tick Speed

TP?

You sure?

I say that because TP and MP tick at the exact same time.

well, also does HP, and....

I coud see it with MP regeneration.

Not with TP, as TP shoud depend on something that people that use TP have. Skill speed, problaly, or in 5.0 people will run out of TP in about 20 seconds , haha

That's fair. I'll edit.

This is unlikely though, since MP regen is based on server ticks, where they can do a billion actions at once, like check locations, do DoT damage, apply HoT effects, regen TP, MP, and HP, etc...

It's not really arbitrary, which is why they changed spellspeed to increase DoT damage rather than frequency.

I don't know about you, but I try to stack as much Piety as I can with my White Mage equipment. More MP as White Mage is never bad.

ermm at the cost of cure potency, silly amounts of MP is worthless ><

All I know is that something needs to be done to Piety to NOT make it a dump stat.

I'm not so sure it's fair to label piety as a dump stat. Although it's certainly not a popular choice on the forums-- it does increase MP regen, and some WHMs (and doubtless ASTs too now) like it for that reason.

I do wish that, under the new materia system, it wouldn't be classified as a main stat and thus not be eligible for overmelds.

Currently all of my optional points are in MND but if piety wasn't so weak on a per-point basis, I'd consider a keeper's hymn to boost my regen.
