Yes, high VIT makes soloing a breeze, but- my issue (personally) is that the "vit build" works for everything.

Yeah, you can take MND to 160 if you want to- you'll get some extra MP which you can siphon infinitely anyway, so you don't need more than 700---and base MP's like 950.
And there's the cure potency too. Was it 1 HP per 2 MND?

INT will get you some extra damage, but you receive diminishing returns after the magical 90 marker, and with unlimited MP, it's not like you need to make the most of what you've got. You can just siphon your entire MP pool back every minute and go back to slamming slightly-lower-than-capped magic.

PIE is my favorite stat---or I'd like it to be---but if I'm gonna suffer the same resist rate with 90 PIE or 200 PIE (with gear), it can go to hell.


The above post is me 3-4 weeks ago. I had ~50 VIT, 'cause it adds little HP for DoM, and I maxed my magey stuff. I didn't take hate often, and could full-heal myself when I did, so there was no reason for more VIT.

After switching to high VIT though...it's not that I like the idea, it's that none of the stats are working.
VIT's not any less broken than the rest, but it gives you HP, and as long as PIE is at 90, HP's pretty much your only beneficial stat.

MP's already endless (you can even go into Passive mode during group NMs for free---and instant---MP), PIE only needs to hit 80-90, and INT---while I want to love it (go BLM!)---just doesn't carry any weight when you have unlimited MP. I boost it to 100ish sometimes for Dodore's Minions, but it's only like a 10-15% increase from INT17.



I really hope they address stats/formulas in the next patch, but I'm not expecting it- maybe 2-3 patches from next. I want to go back to being an INT whore, or to trying to cap my resist rates (seriously, 202 PIE should make a difference).


Oh, and sorry in advance if/for:
-all of my posts turning into rants.
-if I've sounded argumentative- not my intention.
