If they won't fix stats to some degree in 1.19, they might as well wait to implement the materia system til 1.20, cause w/o stats doing ANYTHING, materia is just as useless as stats are...

I'm really looking forward to 1.19 and especially the materia system, but if stats won't do anything STILL with 1.19...materia has no reason to exist.

@Rydin: PIe is supposed to affect DoTs, they don't at some point it doesn't matter how much PIE you have, it won't change anything. MND is supposed to raise your cure potency and magic defense...right now it's not even slightly noticable...

There are other things besides DMG taken and dealt...
