Bloodwall Materia Stats BROKEN

[tachikoma]

This is a glaring bug in FFXIV where:

Bloodwall Materia II has a range of 9-12 Defense

Bloodwall Materia III has a range of 11-15 Defense

This is the only materia in the game that has an overlapping range on different tiers.

yeah, 1 def make the materia incredibily broken

[tachikoma]

It should be fixed, its clearly an oversight and a bug.

did you go for a triple bond hoping they'd up the stats after you complain, lol. maybe theyll just lower them.

Wha-?
Why not? I'm sorry I don't understand why materia should not overlap some stats. Why not?
Yes, it's frustrating when your materia III is the same strength as materia II. But considering the very high potential of improvement of gear with materia, it is only fair.

I don't think it's so much something that intrinsically shouldn't happen so much as something that SE avoided doing in every other case, making this seem erroneous.

im pretty sure this isn't the only case of this happening.

Well, yes and no. According to Mooglebox, both Hell's Eye and Touch of Serenity have adjacent tiers overlapping on a common value (e.g., tier 2 is 2-3 and tier 3 is 3-4). That said, Bloodwall still seems to be the only one where a higher tier can actually have a lower value (tier 2 having a max of 12 and tier 3 starting at 11).
