Was thinking about this recently, and I actually have a question re: MP issues. I'm no Summoner and I've no idea how much Piety you'd need to make it matter, but if you melded head + hands + belt with Piety IVs/Piety IIIs, would that make any difference in Turn 10-13? You'd be missing out on Crit on the head and Accuracy on the belt/hands, but I was curious how much MP you'd need to offset the issues SMN has in FCoB. Is it too significant to mend through just materia?
