Thread: Would you like to see the current stat system revised or redone for FFXIV 2.0?

Ahh yes but my point was in the past killing lvl 99 mobs wasn't so much of an issue, but nevermind.

Its nice in FF14 that yeah, the gear can aid in the stats, but really. Its about what you spend your points into. That to me is far more important, because that allows you to do little unique twists to your class in order to fit what you really want to do with that class.

You seem to be under the impression that those 50 or so stat points make much difference, which is partly what this thread is about.

If we say you can only spend 21 points in 2 stats at lvl 50 thats basically the equivalent of 2 materia.

Yes it makes a difference but certainly not a very big one.

Even with this games messed up stats system people are still min and maxing gear + materia, that gear/numbers game will always be the ultimate goal in pretty much any MMO you play.

As you admit yourself you put your points into Str and Pie because they are the favoured stats for lancer/drg so you are conforming to the masses in doing so, why give people the choice when given the choice they choose the same as everyone else.

I'm not suggesting taking away stat points of course just saying there isn't much choose anyway, its either put them in the correct place or don't.

How they do it though is you get 14 Points per level. Each stat costs a specific amount of points to raise to the next level. So like there, to raise Strength costs like 3 points and to raise HP costs like 1 Point.

Isn't this what we had prior to the battle system reform, we had 100s of points to spend on stats, each stat would get progressively more expensive the more points you put into it.

They removed that because people didn't like the idea of 100's of points to administer in the stat window.
