So finding out you get a free tier V materia weekly via Void Ark makes me think this actually won't be too bad. It's not ideal, but if you've raided as SCH in the past, it's nothing unusual. It's actually quite nice to have these different ways of obtaining materia as you're not forced to spend millions if you choose not to.

Judging from Midas NM, both healers probably won't get many chances to contribute to DPS at all as damage output is pretty high, so the main healer still has some choice and isn't required to meld accuracy. I did want accuracy on healer gear, but I can also see why they didn't put it on with this new melding system. SCHs / Noct ASTs won't have to sacrifice their iLvl as much for pentamelded gear if they manage to get tier V materia in every available slot. I'll calc it myself later but it seems like you might be able to get away with using no pentamelded <240 gear in the long run.

I am very happy with the new gear changes.
