STAT SQUISH, LOW HP, DPS...for me...SUCKS!!

[KaitoAsaha]

Also be happy that Square did the stat squish properly ensuring a smooth transition. The stat squish could have very easily had some massive inconsistencies that suddenly made certain parts of old content that used to be really easy to do suddenly entirely impossible due to poor scaling.

You know, like some other game.

DCUO is suffering from this right now. By default they use to have unsync on naturally for older content, which allowed them to blow through stuff for feat points. Now everything has been stat clamped and runs that could be done in 10 or so minutes are back to taking easily 40 to an hour, along with the inclusion of people immediately leaving if the content they queued for is deemed too difficult or they outright fail.

I have noticed that things feel a little different when I'm doing really old content unsynced for the Wonderous Tales (both for the better and worse) but I can't say it feels any "worse" in current content.

I can’t decide if this is satire or not…

Satire or not I play with someone who is genuinely sad his BLM numbers are smaller now.

Didn't the devs say that numbers were getting to the point where aggro was resetting or something along those lines?

Even though I know Yoshi said they had to do the stat squish, all I can say its sucks. I remember coming into EW & seeing my HP go from 120K to 29k, it was like a punch in the stomach. Seeing my RDM, which is main, at 90 doing DPS as it did in SB is kind of disheartening.

I'm like could our HP be at least be 75 - 80k at level 90.

IMO, sometimes I do feel my RDM is weaker. Level 80 dungeons when playing ShB seem like a breeze & can get through 15 mins. Now, it seems to take longer. Seeing some of these bosses especially in Pandemonium hit you with 24k damage & u hitting back with 8-12k damage...just SUCKS...lol. Again this is just my opinion & how I feel.

The stat so compressed, it's strange, but everything works normally.

The problem is that if your impressions are bad, you'll stick with it. I had no problems from the old raid content to the last extreme raid.

The impression may be skewed also because there is a resurgence of noobs in the game, old content is often harder to finish because everyone is doing Endwalker content, so newbies are among themselves often in old content and die on easy content.

It's still funny to see 90% of the raid die on the first bump of the first Dun Scaith boss.

Casters adjust.

[Floortank]

I do, however, have the feeling that the squish actually empowered the jobs even more.
I have never cleared dungeon runs as fast as I did before EW. Healers keep tanks up easier, Tanks live longer, and/or DPS burning faster through the trash.

It's wild.

Yeah I agree. Pulls that were tough in SHB dungeons in 5.55 are cake now. With maybe the exception of pulling every single mob from the start of Mt. Gulg to the first boss arena.

I don't care about the numbers. Might as well have 1200 HP at max level and I wouldn't care either.
