Materia on gear should sync to level, not ilvl

[SerLuke]

There's no reason to do this. The dungeons have hard stat caps and you generally hit those caps even without those materia stats.

Not always esp with tanks and direct hit.

Strength more than DH. Remember? Tanks are the only role in the game to normally use mainstat materia. That loss of 125 Strength is absolutely massive.

If you're PLD you want DH and as WAR you want Crit (I'm guessing I don't really play WAR) not really sure wat best is on DRK but I just use my PLD gear minus the weapon of course.

Right side of gear pieces are all Strength and the left side is all DH on my PLD. I haven't personally tested running only Strength materies but when I was looking for info they all said to get DH as well and most PLD are running this.


To get back on topic can't they implement or change the sync system to take all our values Strength, dex, vitality, etc (as they appear in the attributes chart) and then just do all of these -5% or w/e the sync is. The lower the lvl of the content the higher the %.

Wouldn't this be actually 'easier' for the system itself as well? Just take all numbers and do -5%?

It's Crit > DH now on PLD/DRK since crit now outscales DH (pre-4.4 it was DH > Crit on PLD and Crit=DH on DRK) and Crit > Det on WAR. Since Crit inceases rate and damage and DH only rate, Crit now outvalues DH on bunch of classes.

This is one of my main issues. Sync hurts tank (arguably the most important party member) the most.
