Wow wheres my MP.....?

[Blarp]

I like that mobs are harder cause then maybe partying will pick up more. I just think 1900 hp/ 900mp is bad for CNJ I actually think it should be the other way around with 900 hp/1900 mp.

I somewhat agree, but mobs didn't get harder. We just got a lot weaker. It's not challenging to have to cast a nuke 15 times in between casting weak heals to kill a single XP mob. To me, harder denotes some form of challenge. A pretty common perception in MMO's is that time = difficulty. One that I think needs to die in a horrible fire.

As a 33 PUG all the weaponskills of the mobs against me did 200-300 dmg roughly. Now they do 90.

So its not like we got weaker necessarily - its just needing to adjust to the new level balance.

[kwestro]

everyone having more hp just means the cnj will have to heal himself and everyone else less often.... which means you can use more mp on actually fighting. my 50 GLD has 3400 HP/564 MP. So far it looks like I won't be needing sacrifice or cure. just bloodbath and second wind only.

What if your a CNJ who actually likes to heal.... like idk a whm?

Before, a Puk would get off one WS MAYBE, and I would have to cast a tier one heal once a fight if that. Now they take a lot longer to kill, do a lot more damage over the course of the fight, and every active spell I cast is less potent. Maybe it gets better at higher levels, but my damage spells hit like a wet noodle on mobs that are my rank +/- 1 or 2.

First Gear matter now at high level 2# now you have to use the new system and add materia to your gear.

And 3 but not last have to learn how to use your MP and not spam. too they add the system we could put point again,.

Well gotta say, Yoshi has brought the difficulty back to ffxiv. And I'm liking it a lot. This just means gearing up proper is important again.


p.s...I don't think anyone will be downing Ifrit any time soon. Lol

[Pulseczar]

Also take into consideration the new materia system. I'm betting you can get get some decent MP pools out of it

[Ottovonawesome]

Didn't they also say that equipped gear with stats like piety and mnd will effect mp values?

Gearing up proper? Mages should never have more hp than mp that's kinda the point of being a mage, your mana is your life. I have a vintage robe +1 and a jade crook +2(no materia yet) but that alone should make my character more mage centric and thus more mp.

I should feel like i'm a mage when i look at my stats. i feel like a DD with this much hp.

Also take into consideration the new materia system. I'm betting you can get get some decent MP pools out of it

Materia shouldn't be that pivotal. You should be able be skilled without it and be godly with it. if the mp pool+ with materia is that big then its basically an ultimatum with materia, either you use it or u suck
