I totally understand the not caring because the stats, for the most part, don't do very much.. or anything at all. But, it seems a bit silly to not even allot any at all just because of that. We can speculate all want on how useless they are, but we do not know 100% for sure they they really do absolutely nothing. I would rather just throw them wherever and at least hope it does something lol. It does no harm at least, and if anything actually will help you in one way or another.

has anyone done testing to see if it helps with magic resistance? I thought I read somewhere that they will raise the resistance of the opposing element. Like having a high Earth elemental property would lower your damage to Water attacks or something. Lots of enemies also have elemental properties to their regular attacks too.
