why am i so gimped now?

Yeah....i'm lvling my glad now. I did some leves earlier, had to do them 2 stars lower than what i was doing before the patch...which made the mobs 1 lvl below me. This was after i died twice. Wtf. The mobs take forever to kill. And my stats are way better than what they were before but it sure doesn't show :x

Though i will admit, it was kind of broken before when my glad was invincible 90% of the time lol.

I think this is SEs version of making the game more fun/challenging? Enjoy.

I guess... Welcome to FFXIV version 1.19!

TL;DR version:

Materia needs to be done. Stats are rebalanced, gear matters and targets matter.

No offense, but you're not doing your community over at FFXIVCore.com any good by posting your terrible, and in some cases insulting comments over here.

@ Everyone else: I've been playing with gear to try and help a friend out. I haven't had a chance to buy new gear or try leveling myself yet because it's late and the wards are down, but I was able to confirm a few things... which might already be obvious to most, but since people are being dicks I'll just throw it out there.

- Dated gear, in most cases, has better stats than non Dated gear. The only difference is you can't apply Materia to Dated gear, but the increased stats make up for it.

- Dated gear does in fact work, applying all stats; however, if the stats are greyed out you do not get any of them at all, not even a portion of them like you previously did. An example, I equip a L29 Canvas Acton on my L22 Archer, I get neither the HP or the MP, not even some of it.

- Gear that does not favor the class you're on also does not apply any of the stats at all outside of Defense. I confirmed Defense does apply though, even if it's not favored.

So before you go throwing out all of your "dated" gear because you're assuming it's trash, think again. Dated gear has better stats, so I would hold onto them and convert them into materia to use on your next set of gear.

Yep, I can't complete leves that had no problem with before.

all of my gear is my level give or take a couple of pieces being 2 levels above me, my weapon is my exact rank however.
