So um. When did this thread turn into being about damage output instead of magic defense? Requesting DPS buff always seems to bring out the meanness in people who don't play that job. But I think a request for a m.def buff is not out of line here. It almost seems like an oversight instead of design at this point considering how abysmal it is.

I read the jp thread posted on the same issue that was linked here. I like how one person pointed out that as our ilvl goes up, or m.def goes down and wondered that if this trend continued, we'd eventually have 0 magic defense (or worse!). I've decided to wear flimsy looking vanity in protest of our magical squishiness. Sadly I don't think it will be very effective...
