Are the numbers too high?

[Rydin]

Complaining damage doesn't increase enough when you raise your STR and ATT power is your first problem. Look up your auto attack bonuses. What your attacking will effect damage too.

Your second problem is thinking stats cap at 280/290.

Materia is key to success.

I've not seen any tests that prove otherwise....
I have seen tests that prove it to be correct though

So saying I'd prefer a bigger difference in naked vs fully geared is a problem and not just a preference?
