When you have 500 points to allocate onto a rank 20 class, nothing is difficult to kill still honestly regardless of class.
As it is now, if you are Rank 20 CON and Phys level 50, you can't pump all of your points into MND and get the same amount you would as 50 CON. There's a stat point limit per rank.

If you're talking about something different I apologize. But removing physical levels wouldn't make it too much worse I believe. I do think there will be some issues though, especially if they take away the ability to adjust your attribute points. For example there would be a max MP for R50 CON/THM shared by everyone since you won't be able to pump 174 points into MND. But I feel that this is where Materia Crafting will come into play, as +MND gear would be favored by mages.
