Can we talk about how the materia system is irritating for casters?

[HyperSMB]

To be fair, spell speed isn't all that bad for Summoner, not as high a weight as for BLM but it still has a positive benefit on the dots and squeezing in more Ruin III's in Dreadwyrm.

Least as far as 3.0x weights as DET / SPS weights it came down to personal preference on SMN.

Though I do wonder how much the weights have changed with the addition of direct hit into the mix.

I imagine Crit and Direct Hit will be king once we determine the exact SpS breakpoint for an extra Ruin III in DWT.

That is unless the weight on SpS goes down because of the chance of Ruin IV being proc'd making the need for the extra Ruin III less important...which further makes Crit and Direct Hit more appealing.
