Funny reading this thread, I started playing 2 weeks ago, reached level 16 before this patch, had decent Int. stat stacked so I could hit things pretty hard for my level, few points in Mind some in Piety, a couple in Vitality.. Patch today and now I am told what stats I should have... I seriously went from enjoying this game to thinking its pathetic in less than 15 minutes. It seems now that we are being told what classes are to do what so if your a con. then you will be a healer ... I was able to go out and have a decent chance to level alone, but now its pointless, Seems as though I wasted my $30 buying this game ... Play to have fun .. but now .. at least here .. told what you can do to have fun

don't be discouraged by me i know they will bring point allotment back in 1.20 its just i think they way they have auto balanced the stats for mages is a little weird out of the gate

I entirely disagree with this for the simple fact that as a 44 PUG (haven't played with my 50GLA yet, been scared of my shield and changing all my skills) I have 320 Magic potency with 184 INT, 148 MND, and 151 PIE which is almost as high as my melee stats which are 185 STR 153 VIT and 189 DEX.

Say I wanted to use magic on my PUG, judging by just bare stats with dated melee gear, I should have no problem being a mage fighter if I want to. Ultimately this stat reallocation gives us more freedom because overall all of my stats are higher and now I don't have to worry about "If I slot some INT for my spells, I'll be sacrificing STR and DEX which will overall make me weaker". I don't have that issue now and can use the most out of both my melee weapons AND magic.

Where you say More freedom, I say less specialization and therefore less freedom.
