Yeah its not even that OP, I dont expect my class to be OP, its not like I am an ambitious guy anyway. MDEF scaling kills mage classes, unless Gravity fixes this(which is extremely unlikely) we can only count on gears like Magicians Gloves. Maybe we wont get Magicians Gloves exactly, but I definitely expect something similar in future OCPs.
If you cant get a piece of bread at least get the crumbs.
