Point Allocation Tool

Re: Point Allocation Tool

You just need ACC rings and you're golden. After level 30, STR rings don't do much to increase your dps. You'll benefit directly from +crit, +acc stats off gear. Same with +defense. My gladiator invests heavily in STR, VIT and MND from allocation but for gear, I wear what's available and better than anything else. After equipping two ACC rings I don't miss too much and I use that one move that LNC has that allows you to hit 100% of the time after a miss which helps.

BTW, GLA does NOT need DEX. It doesn't do anything for you since none of your abilities require DEX. Put it into MND instead.

Re: Point Allocation Tool

Primary stats have less of an impact the higher level you get, with gear having a more pronounced effect.

Besides, MRD is a secondary tank, but still primarily a DPS class. Need STR & VIT more than DEX for that. (most melee jobs I just crank out STR & DEX but MRD needs VIT and GLA needs VIT & DEX)

Re: Point Allocation Tool

I wouldn't use gear for increasing the accuracy too much, unless you have food that can increase accuracy as well. Why not go 1/1 with the Vit/Dex, and raise Str when you can?

Re: Point Allocation Tool

So far the only job that's proving hard to allocate points on in s MRD. Maxing STR is obvious enough, but then dividing the rest between VIT & DEX is tedious as the job can act as a decent secondary tank, and uses VIT as a modifier for skills. Need DEX too for accuracy & parrying, though perhaps I can get away with just gear for that and go pure STR & VIT.

Re: Point Allocation Tool

Points are independent for each jobs; for example there's a slight variation in how I allocated my points for my THM vs my CONJ. If you open up your points on the THM you'll notice that you probably have a lot of unspent points.

They are like that. I have my mnk maxed Str, and Dex, with some Vit, but, my mages have none placed in there. My monk wishes to re-ollocate points to increase his damage even further. D:

Wish they would allow you to do it at will though. Haha

Re: Point Allocation Tool

So I guess I'm stuck with capped STR and DEX on my THM.

Re: Point Allocation Tool

There are plus and minus buttons for each stat. The number highlighted down the middle represents the total number of points you are able to change for that cooldown (I believe) but I have not had the need to change it. I could test it out later when I have nothing else to do.

Well ... I just tried and it won't allow me to. I thought I read somewhere that they were going to allow you to change but for some reason they went back on that. I'm guessing it's not going to happen until 2.0 UNLESS I am missing something here.

Re: Point Allocation Tool

I don't think you undo points at all. When I played a couple months ago before it went Pay-to-play, they auto-allocated points relevant to the class you're currently playing.

Things have changed. :0 You set your own points again -- sorta.

Re: Point Allocation Tool

By the way, how do we undo points now? I can't figure it out...

The provisional simulator of FINAL FANTASY14(Patch1.20)

I discovered this through eLeMeN FF14 website. I think it's quite handy considering that even if you're able to undo points again (You were not able to in 1.20) that there is a cooldown associated with that every so many points you're undoing.
