I mean, if something is your exact level, isn't it supposed to be a little difficult?
I wish this was the case. Maybe if you try to push yourself to 20 with level 1 equipment... otherwise it's so easy it's almost tedious. On the other hand, though, seeing the growth in power so clearly is pretty bad-ass.

I can't wait to see what happens when we can re-allocate our stats the way we want to. Dump those MND into STR and decimate everything on your way.
