MCH, let's talk Armageddon.

Well, you more than likely wouldn't notice the difference between the two. Heavensfire is roughly 3 or 4 Dexterity better off in terms of stat weights, but the Animus has 5 more Vitality!

In other words, it will make about as much difference as changing your race.

Which is a problem when you consider that one is I205 and the other is i210 yet they're still neck-to-neck value wise.

Or that the stats in this game are utterly boring and only act as numbers if you're feeling the same even after dropping 68 points of crit (so you should feel like youre seeing less big numbers) for 71 SS (where you should...well...attack faster, sure you'll see that your GCD is reduced by .02 seconds but you certainly aren't feeling it.)

This is what I'm talking about, it would really be more sensible to move it down a little so it's centered on all three of the barrels equally. I feel this is something important enough that we should try to get them to change, it can't be that hard to edit the GB attachment point.

Obligatory "lets put a gauss barrel on it" comment.

That's kind of the point of the halfway weapons.

They give those who can't clear the very top end content something to work for / help them on clearing the top end content, while those who have already cleared the top end content are given unequivocally better baseline weapons, even if that scale of 'better' is minimal.

Relics have more stats. Some of the stat may be less desirable, but that doesn't change that as a baseline total number no weight attached value, it has more.

I'm comparing Heavensfire (i205) to Armageddon (i210) though. Even then, that simply doesn't hold true for some jobs where the anima weapon is better than the gordian. And I meant stat-weight, not numerical value. 1 point of SS is inherently weaker than 1 point of crit/det for a MCH.
