The Novus grind is getting easier...but the Animus...isn't...?

[Morningstar1337]

Your memory serves you right, however, there's absolutely NO reason to spend tier IV materias which is what people are mindlessly doing. You can perfectly do:

SCH: 21 DET, 33 Crit, 21 Piety
WHM: 21 Det, 33 SS, 21 Piety
DPS: 21 Det, 33 Crit, 21 Acc
Tank: 33 Parry, 21 Det, 21 Acc

And bam! Your Novus no longer costs 4 million gil. Instead, it costs 300k gil.

I think BLM may need something different for Intelligence, spell speed or MP

If you're going through the trouble to get a Novus, why not make it a good weapon instead of just going with the cheapest possible alternative?

Because every Materia gives 1 point regardless of rank anyway?
