And that is the consequence of Min/Maxing.

I take a moderate approach at stats. I main a Conjurer, so I put most of my points in VIT and MND, less points in INT and PIE, and the least amount of points in STR and DEX. Basically I keep my STR and DEX at half the value of my VIT and MND, and my INT and PIE in between. This allows me to change stats fairly quickly if I decide to play a melee. But at the same time, I keep my primary stats high.

Also keep in mind that as you go higher in stats, the cost of increasing those stats has HUGE diminishing returns. This is ANOTHER discouragement towards Min/Maxing.

So do you get it yet? SE is discouraging Min/Maxing. Take the hint.
