I was running moogle the other night as BLM. My stats aren't the greatest, but I think they're ok.

Int 367
M.Atk 505
M.Acc 440

This is all before food.

There were 2 other BLMs in the group with me, only wearing AF. One of them was even using that NM drop level 35 one hander... Going through the logs, I'm barely seeing a difference in our damage. My thunder is hitting for around 550-600 and thundara varied between 1000-1100. They were not far off at all. Same 500 range on thunder and high 900's on thundara.

Am I just over estimating how much gear should affect my damage? I'm hesitant to spend my money on double and triple melds if the increases are this marginal.

Maybe I'm just not focusing on the right stats?

Anyone else feel this way?
