[dev1358] Materia Reform - Discussion.

[Shosasosa]

Really dissapointed they haven't added a DEX + PIE materia for pants slot since they have the other combinations.

No they don't? the double stat materias are broken into mage stats and melee stats. MND INT PIE = mage stats STR DEX VIT = melee stats. the materias are as follows:

MAGE MATERIA COMBOS:
PIE INT
PIE MND
INT MND

MELEE MATERIA COMBOS
STR VIT
STR DEX
VIT DEX

there are no cross stat materia like STR and MND or INT and STR or DEX and PIE

They don't have, but they should have.

Yes, but DEX and Pie are both very useful for brd/arc and they can't benefit from those pant materias like the other classes can.

I feel the BRD pants are a bit underwhelming but there's not much to substitute them with afaik. Unless we're talking darklight of course.

Either can PLD(MND and STR) MNK(INT and STR) or DRG(PIE and STR). the only melee that gets both Melee stats bonuses is WAR(VIT and STR) so just another reason why WAR is "the in job" this patch.

Mages on the other hand can use these well unless you want to buff your enhancing potency for whm with VIT

EDIT Also you can use raptorskin suibligar which gives 4VIT and 5DEX base and put either more dex and VIT on it DEX to increase damage and VIT to enhance defence HP and enhanceing magic (songs are enhancing magic). double meld other shit on it too if thats not enough for you
