Shocked at the reduction in mage damage, quadruple mp cost, and lowered resources

[Evangela_II]

first we had the Nov patch which killed the game once

and now we have the July patch of doom

love the changes mages were lame w/o any strategy I just spam skills cus mp was soo over-abundant ty Yoshi for the MUCH NEEDED ADJUSTMENTS!

Let's get this man a PROMOTION! Hey, let's team up. What kind of strategies can we come up with while we're sitting in passive mode because we cast all of our MP out in cures in 30 seconds?

/spit take

Well, thank goodness Dark Souls won't be difficult.

What does that mean, spit take?

And lol @ people saying I want easy mode when I'd rather be playing Demon's Souls

you guys are bullshit if you think every nm in game should take a group. I guess you all never farmed o kotes or leaping boots by yourself. Only high tier nm should require a pt to kill, if a r 50 mage cannot solo a mob that drops a r 25 wep then there is a problem. I just cant wait for all the dumb ass DD to start dieing because we only have 1 class that can heal and its spells cost so much. I bet they didn't adjust the aoes of mobs at all which will be fun for conjs. Eventually people who have NEVER even touched a mage class will learn because they have to spend all their time looking for a conj to do anything, and because they will always be dead from eating aoes and not being conscience of the mages in pt..

the NMs you are talking about in FFXI were no higher than around level 20... the ones in FFXIV are now lower than around level 40....so yes, every nm in FFXIV atm should require a group. Once lower level ones are introduced, you will be able to solo them.

Dude these ARE the low level nms... that was the whole idea when they were implemented. Now you cant even duo them at the levels that are required to equip the piece.

Well then equip Siphon MP, Siphon MP II, Stygian Spikes II, use Tranquility/Exaltation. There's still something you can do about MP recovery. Before this patch I rarely had to use MP recovery skills/spells/abilities. You just have to use your MP smarter.

read, again, what I said. Those NMs are no lower than level 40. You're supposed to group up to kill them. Do you not remember, in FFXI, that sometimes mobs that even level 75's couldn't solo would drop gear for level 50's?

There's a reason why NM's are supposed to be harder than normal mobs... If only there was someway we could have, I don't know, a max of 8 person party so we could fight these difficult NM's...
