Anyone think materia is getting reworked in 6.0?

[Wyakin]

Not really? BLM might use vastly different materia from other BLM & SMN/RDM depending on build choices. (sps vs crit builds)

WAR also uses different combination of materia from other tanks due to IR's interaction with DH. DRK/WAR also have many different tiers of sks that players with higher/lower ping might go for due to comfy zones due to IR, Delirium & Blood Weapon.

There's also the balance of piety on SCH vs AST/WHM, since WHM & AST just ooze out mana where SCH lags a bit. But people in general might also be more comfortable with different tiers of piety depending on their playstyle, the content and whether they want extra fluff or not if stuff hits the fan.

There's enough depth (even if its not a crazy amount) in the current materia system between many jobs that it doesn't need to be reduced to binary choices.

There is very little to zero depth in the materia system. It’s all the same, all BLMs have the same build. All melee aim for the same two stats. The variations are very very small because all jobs have one single BiS each patch. Materia... is... pointless. It used to mean something because it was expensive and tougher to acquire, accuracy builds for healers for example. Now, who cares just put crit/DH and win

no, no they do not. there's speed BLM, crit BLM, and even a variant that lets you more easily swap to RDM/SMN and they're all perfectly viable, it's just the speed you're comfy at and if you play the other casters
