RIP Customization

[Kosmos992k]

If I read the patch notes correctly the bonus Attribute Points have been removed, meaning we all will have the exact same stats as certain jobs. Sure it was a small thing but I liked my additional max HP Saved me from wiping on more than one occasion in fact.

Those points were kinda insignificant to the point of absurdity.

I think that depending on how much you were trying to push into content, there were potential situations that warranted the extra health, regardless of whatever people here are saying. It honestly wasn't a big deal, since they made stat swapping absurdly cheap at some point. I actually carried around 99 Keeper's Hymns for such things (although they mainly got used on arcanist for obvious reasons). I am no raider but I remember fights in the past where a temporary VIT allocation enabled me to survive where I hadn't been before. A lot of people seem to like to forget that dead DPS do no damage and dead healers do no healing.

As long as the devs avoid those kinds of situations from here on and they actually make those raid busters reasonably survivable by the non-tanks (maybe with VIT melds on accessories or something) this hopefully won't be as much of an issue in the future. For a while though, melds were not even possible on most dungeon-tier gear, meaning the options for surviving raid busters that you couldn't otherwise survive were rather slim -- it was either reallocate stats, or outright wear VIT accessories, and either way you'd be giving up your job's primary stat. The former option, however, didn't require you to go out and obtain more gear you might not already have had.
