Mages and elemental Wands

[Kinseykinz]

Also in the argument of offense, wouldn't Ifrit's Cudgel/CON-staff + Mask of the Mortal Hex = +50 Magic Attack Potency = big enough nukes?

Most likely yes. However, Ifrit only seems to like to give me DM...well okay, I got a bow once.....

So anyway, for mages without the rare/ex gears, we still need to rely on the crafted weapons. Plus, a well-crafted and well materia'd weapon has the potential of being better than a Rare/ex drop. (plus crafted is sell-able and that's nice when level cap raises and you no longer need rank 50 gears)
