I think I miss that information....

I'll try to find it, i remember it was a response to a post where someone was asking for haste materia...

Here is the thread for that...

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...efresh+materia

Developer just said they have plans, we better believe it...

I don't think all effects should be gained through Materia. It gives more of a reason to seek out unique gear if that unique gear has unique stats on it.

Isn't the Physical Crit rate the Savage Might Materia?

There is such a thing as crit rate and crit potentcy/crit attack power. Savage Might and Sagacious Might are Critical Attack Power and Magic Critical Potency. Things like crit rate and magical crit rate on materia would be rather over powered by basically making it more likely for you to crit. (Unless, of course, it's in the single digits I suppose.) Crit Potency and Crit Attack power basically just cause better results when you do crit.

Most of the bows have crit rate+... don't see a problem adding a materia that can be attached to bow and adds 1-15 crit rate :/

I'm not so sure it would be over powered since critical rate + gears don't make much of a difference as far as i know.

And as it has been said before, adding new materias in the game would make even more u/u gears useless which is really the last thing we need right now.

U/U gear needs a boost or the ability to add one materia to it with a low % chance before SE start adding more materia.

They could add special U/U materia (perhaps bought with seals or something) that can be added only to U/U gear. That way you could make your sub-par U/U pieces have extra stuff like haste or refresh, and deny those extra things for normal crafted gear.

I see a monster difference when wearing the Sipahi gloves (+15 crit rate).

EDIT: Great for ARC and PGL since both have a fast rate of attack or key WS which feature multiple hits.

Oh ? Maybe it changed with the last updates ? A friend of mine did some tests after 1.19/prior to 1.20 with sipahi hands/verdant hora/pirate's bandana (+37 crit rate total) and was very disappointed with the results.

Ren ren those bump the ceiling of crit damage.

extensive testing has been done via BG and they are saying it effects crit rate not crit damage

Maybe that's what you'll put on accessories, when we finally get undated accessories.

No, Savage Might/Sagacious Might improves your Physical/Magic Crit *damage*, not the rate.

Strange... I put more crits with my Savage Might Haubergon than with my Cuirass, but it must be me then =)
