Fire damage doesn't heal fire mobs?

[Rydin]

it was never all mobs in any ff, only specific ones with a high affinity. and there are some cases, like bombs where they were actually weak to their own element

I like that... it was like...
half damage if your affinity was high...
No damage if it was really HIGH
and absorb damage to HP if your element was SUPER HIGH

My guess this will not happen. How easy will a primal battle, such a ifrit, when you stat resist to super high levels.

Ifrit does super AoE Fire spell of doom and the party is healed to full....
The standard for every battle of a primal would become stack the element of the NM to high levels.

Yea.. it does seem like it would be hard to balance.....
You could make the point at which you get the half damage, resist and absorb be super insanely high in your elemental attributes so it would be virtually impossible without triple fire resist materia on all applicable gear, jewelry and electrum circlets just to get to half damage or even resist
