Novus Meld Failure - Remove Please

[Granyala]

Sure, two stats may represent the 'optimal', but most people can show you the loss of melding three stats is practically negligible.

Honestly, now that the nexus step is out, I think people are probably better off just getting to that step ASAP as the gain in weapon damage in primary stats outweighs trying to get a future more points in secondaries with Teir IV (yes I realize your secondary choices scale too, but the same principle applies as it does at the Novus state).

Wait, so you can meld another stat onto it and bypass Class IV Materia alltogether?!
Awesome. Since I don't raid cutting edge, I have no reason to minmax to this extreme extent.
700K Det IV materia combined with "OMG RNG FAIL BECAUSE WE CAN CODE IT LAWL!" sounds like no fun at all.

Thanks for the input!

The other problem is that this system is built on top of the other massive RNG fest of melding where you also have something like a 50% fail rate (elemental and primary stat materia i'm looking at you).

You mean spiritbonding? Unless you can EZmode craft Ilvl 90 (most people can't), you have 3 layers of RNG when it comes to Class IV materia:

-Getting the materia you need
-Getting a Class IV version of said materia (small chance depending on on level, even ilvl 90 is not guaranteed)
-Melding it successfully.

Looking at the insane prices, I honestly wonder how many people go the RMT route...
