Thread: We're getting stat allocation back in 1.20, right?

Only if only one build is effective. Even with min/maxing that is not always the case.

And if there's no room for variance within a build, which I don't see being the case either. Each class/role will have what is a generally accepted "Optimal" build but that doesn't mean there isn't room for some deviation dependent on play style.

I dont build my character to bend to the will of other players.

I like this. Each class has their own saved stats. And we can choose to be auto-assigned stats based on our class or for those that want the customization, get to have it.

War may not need Int or Mnd as much. Magic may not need Str and Dex as much. Hand and Land may focus dump for better performance, but if auto assigned, will still function at the current level sans materia.

Well as long as I'm able to play my role effectively why should it matter? Shoot, I can pretty much heal during Ifrit hard mode wearing nothing but a pumpkin head and swmisuit. When I'm not being silly, I use a Felt Robe (green) while healing instead of the red robe that has 6 mnd. Am I gimp for losing out on ONE healing potency? I dont think so.

Your definition of "effectively" may be different from others'. Just like what melee RDM's used to say back in XI, that they can do their job "effectively" when all of them became shit at their job just so they could play as unique butterflies, without an exception.

If you aren't willing to bend for others don't expect others to bend for you either.

I dont expect others to bend to me.

So you want to play an MMO alone then. Gotcha.

Except I dont play alone, so your comment is moot.
