    dLVL refers to the difference betten player level and target level. It's all over the FFXIV formulas. Check out Kanican's Live Journal for a more detailed explanation. Monsters that are +10 treat stats vastly different than monsters that are -10 or even +5.

    Edit: Ah, on rereading your post, yes your stats don't change on dLVL. But I was speaking specifically to your suggestion that it tell you that you are not receiving any bonus above "cap". The game has no way of knowing the exact effects of any given stat bonus without being provided a dLVL. It can say "This will give you an effective +2 eva and +2 block rate". But the actual effects of those on damage or defense are incalculable.

    Yeah thats nothing new, to most mmorpgs - though FF likes to emphasize it. There is still an incredible amount of context that is invisible that could be shown.

    I'm not asking for a "what will my thunder 2 do on monsters" stat - obviously it varies.

    Yeah I get that. But I'd like to see when I add mind how much does my cure potency go up. Such like that.
    (For example SE dares put a DPS number on weapons, even though obviously it doesnt do that damage lol)

    They can do a general dLVL equation but as you say it would be unreliable in most cases. They would have to offer the ability to examine your character with a dLVL slider or some such.
