Besides helping make spirit bonding a quicker experience, is there any real purpose to using elemental materia? Of course I don't expect it to be as important as Savage Aim, for example, but is there ever really a point to having elemental resistance materia affixed to crafted hear?

Luckily you can use this materia to speed-up the spirit-bonding process. (Items with materia bond quicker) -

Short answer: nope, pretty much useless. Long answer: Even if you stack it on every piece, you will barely notice a difference in damage reduction and this really only affects Tanks. Which they're better off going with higher def/magic def gear which includes more HP. As for others, HP would still be the better stat.

It'd be nice to have a real elemental wheel and then something for the piercing/blunt/slashing they added in 2.0. But this probably wouldn't happen till 2nd or 3rd expansion (current things being a ground work), kinda sad Pokemon has such an in depth system and it's for "kids."Quote:
