Things that need to change

LOL @ Jay...

Imagine WAR + HP Absorb materia stacked in everything... the immortal Tank...

I'd actually love to see an Enmity+ Materia for Tanks and an Enmity- Materia for Healers and BLM/SMN.

We also need TP/MP/CP/GP Cost Reduction abilities and Materias, and Abilities or Materias to decrease the cooldowns on Independent Cooldown/Interrupt abilities.

See those are some great ideas! They could justify it by giving us content hard enough to need it!! I know harder content will come in time, but I imagine changes to the materia system like what was mentioned would take time too. I agree, maybe the HP absorb is a bit overboard for tanks , but the enmity materias sound awesome. Bard's get an enmity reducing move, but it isn't really that potent. Annnnnd chances are if the tank is losing hate to me, he isn't really performing his job too capably haha.

It's just, the way the system is set up, I would look at slots and say to myself "Ok, its either +dex or +crit".....

Whoop-de-frickin-doo!

The materia system needs variety!

Steal Materia (Max / gear @ IL70 10%) - Chance any attack will grant you a copy of the enemy's drop.
TP/HP/MP Absorb Materia
TP/GP/MP Regen Materia
TP/GP/MP/CP Cost Reduction Materia
Status Effect Materia (Resist and inflict)
Element Damage Materia (on top of base damage)
Element Absorption Materia (Can be OPed)

Edit: Yes, I know that means on Fully crafted ItemLevel70 gear you could get between 120-130% Steal Rate if you put 10% in each piece of gear. 11 pieces of gear (Non Primry/Sub Weapon) + Primary/Sub Weapons.

How about an MP<->TP one or TP<->GP?

EXP+, Gil+, Spiritbond+...

What about a self-repair Materia, where it repairs over time (1m = 1%)?
