DoTs do sufficient damage, but I literally have to spam heals the entire time and if I have too many resists I die on any pull with more than 1 enemy.
Don't even bother trying to reason with these people - when you tell them real facts about how this patch screws players they will say one of the following things:

a) Why don't you just quit! Don't let the door hit you on the way out!
b) Go back to WoW, you baby!
c) Why don't you make some friends!
d) Managing MP (aka standing around waiting for your bar to refill) is challenging!
e) lern2play

All while probably calling you stupid, whiny, lazy or whatever.

It is too bad. I feel your pain, this patch was a massive slap in the face to anyone who doesn't have multiple rank 50s and a full LS of people who ranked up by purposely failing leves. It might be "balanced" for those raids that people will do in their closed little linkshell worlds but everywhere else, it is broken.

I cannot fathom how yoshi could say "don't worry we are not nerfing sp and we don't want the game to be an unbearable grind," and then not only nerf levequest SP, but multiple classes as well.
