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

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.
