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

[Dubont]

Who knew players have to think now ....

I know...but in today's world, thinking is a hindrance, apparently.

Yes, I will have lots of time to think while watching my mp refresh. But, you know what, I don't play videogames to stare at a bar slowly refilling - I play them, to you know, play.

Which is why next month I will be playing 10x more Xenoblade than FFXIV.

Luxlex is also one my new heroes, challenge=/= mp sink, mp management is a challenge, but not an all around mp sink.

And Cure 3 / Curaga 2 costing 100+ MP out of 700 or 800 MP isn't MP management.. it's MP rape!

..where's my MP rape-horn?

[Lignum]

wtf do u mean 800 MP put some damn points into mind and have 2000+ mp is it that hard think people its not hard.....

2000 huh? I have MND of 130 and I only have 1400 when in Full Party with the 15% boost.

I guess I could shit all my other stats to 10 and get 175 MND (and I might, since I'm forced to) but that's not playing how I want to play anymore. Sigh.

lol.. yeah f that. My PIE is 171 and it's staying there.

Well I mean ... if this had come with a Job System (WHM) or the stats-tied-to-your-class update, then I could at least pump up CON full of MND and pump up THM full of INT/PIE and let it ride, but yeah those things are still a month or two away in the best case scenario. My LS keeps telling me "they'll fix it with Jobs, Materia and Stats tied to your Class" and I'm like "Yeah, fucking awesome - and in the meantime I don't have a job to play that's fun. GG!"

I have 50 ARC GLA THM CON and I'm leveling LNC & MRD. You think I want 12 STR & DEX? and 20 VIT?
I was happy to have stats all around 80 and VIT & PIE 100-110 but as of today my MND already up to 130 and still not good enough for me to be even main healer, much less heal, nuke, dot, attack - just not possible. Ugh.

I cannot get over how much fun I had playing this game the way I wanted compared to the 3 dungeon runs I just did where I basically watched other people play and threw out cures (and still ran out of MP in about 1 minute of fighting Ogre and was like "GL, I'll be standing here in the corner for a few minutes.")

The TP analogy is fucking brilliant. I don't understand why Melee don't see it that way already.

Yes, this is a problem people don't seem to understand either. Personally I don't like to be a 'squishy mage' as others insist I be. It's kind of important to be able to take a few hits, how else am I supposed to survive and heal your sorry arses. You can't blame poor mp management on every argument brought up on this topic. If your tank or other members of the party are taking on too much damage, what do you expect us to do? Tell them to suck it up, and rape their stats, and put everything in to Vitality? No, this is what I suggest, tell your DD's to watch their enmity, there's no excuse now you have a bar for that. Tanks? Gear and proper stat alignment is crucial. With the ability either no, or in the future, to align your stats per class there's no excuse for you to have 100 INT as a gladiator. Use your skills correctly and practice.

That's not how things work. You can't blame us for being cross on this subject. Before long you'll be complaining about this, and they'll remove self-stat assignment as well. I think for me that'd be the last straw. They took a system that allowed me to play how I want, and now? auto-attack I admit is a nice step in the right direction, but along with that came a slew of problems completely unrelated.

Also, was AoE toggle REALLY so bad? I shouldn't be needing to heal my tank every 3 seconds, it's not my fault if he's taking on too much damage for what he is. But now with all this curaga crap my skill list is bloated.

That's what I been saying for the past few months.

Are you a fucking retarded mofo? 2000 mp? If you put the maximum allowed you can't reach 1.300!

Answering my own question. Yes you are retarded and a mofo
