    I hate CON post 1:18

    Don't 'boohoo' me about 'easy mode' or MP management. All the people that make these complaints are people who don't even play CON, and thus have no idea what they're talking about.

    In FFXI I had excellent MP management. As a RDM I could do full refresh, regen, haste, protect, shell rounds; DOTs; debuffs; backup-heal; etc with absolutely zero downtime. And FFXI never had an 'easy mode'.

    In XIV my CON has no option but to be a white mage. I have NO chance to use ANY debuffs or DOTs, and even throwing buffs is risky, because my MP pool can barely handle keeping the party cured. Even then, I must continually take downtime to refresh my MP.

    Where I once had 3 (or 5 if you add THM's), I now have 5-7 cure spells. For any decent party I typically carried Cure 2 and 3... Now to be affective and not waste MP, I MUST have Cure 2 and 3 and Curaga 1 and 2, which removes important tactical abilities I had been using...but I guess that's okay, because I wont have the MP to spare for them anymore anyway.
    In addition, this many different cure's (who's icons all look nearly identical--adding to the confusion) and pt members running to and fro, its difficult to even decide WHICH spell to use when.



    Making a class horribly broken =/= a challenge.

    Finding climbing the molehill unchallenging? Want to climb a mountain?? TOO BAD! You still get the molehill, but to make it "challenging" we're going to break your legs!

    CON used to be my favorite class, and thus far has been the only one I even bothered to get to 50.
    Now I absolutely hate it and will be abandoning it ASAP for some melee class 'cause I don't dare touch THM anymore either.

    You DoW's can tell us DoM's to stop whining all you want... But good luck with your parties when there's no more mages running around.
