    I'm...not understanding this.

    Okay, assuming that STR for a WAR caps at 400 STR between native STR and STR gained from gear, you're telling me a warrior that has 350 STR and a WAR at 400 STR will have close to the same amount to the same damage output. Am I interpreting your comment correctly here?

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.

    No I am saying a WAR at 350 STR and a WAR at 390 STR will get the same bonus for 1 STR more as opposed to the WAR with 390 STR getting more of a benefit from 1 STR.

    Isn't that already given, as primary stats aren't multiplicative but additive? You're speaking as if those stats were multiplicative or based on percentages, which to my knowledge has never been the case.

    Well currently, as confirmed by the mod, the system isn't 1:1. What's the opposite of 1:1? Multiplicative or based on percentages.

    All testing shows that all stats in the game increase damage in a linear fashion. I believe you just misunderstood the mod.
