Which Materia to chose!?

[Jinrya-Geki]

Having a seriously hard decision finding out which materia is better to have!

Attack Magic Potency (Hell's Fist)

Magic Critical (Sagacious Might)

Fire Materia

Ice Materia

Lightning Materia

You can put these all in Hands and weapon slots. Has it been tested which is more effective than others?

Would Fire Brand and Boarskin ringband of Flames be more effective with a Hell's Fist Materia, or a Fire Materia making Fire spells stronger, or Sagacious Might?

Stack Magic Attack before Magic Crit since Magic Attack is always in effect, whereas Magic Crit is a sometimes thing. I don't know the exact math but I would assume Magic Attack + on your Boarskin and Fire Brand would be better than stacking + Fire, since it improves all magic damage, not just fire.

I'm really not sure. I just hope that after patch, we can effectively nuke as a THM on Ifrit

hmm I haven't test much on magic dmg output yet.

However, with additional +9 earth magic pot (amber circlet thing) the quake dmg is adding like 100-150ish (vs the red lizard pug that drop ifrit taper [I'm so bad at remember names]) They are all LV50 so should be comparable result.
and secretly tell you it add around 18 more stoneskin damage absorption don't tell anyone XD

PS. if you are curious, about these circlet at ifrit's battle... fire resist is better. I personally feel bad got knocked back by his big fire ball thing as a healer. So I did the various test until I won't get knocked back. (so I can take care of tank max amount of time) Fire one is better than earth. with fire circlet, earth ringband, earth wand, elemental resist food (stone soup), and defender, my stoneskin take 0 dmg from that knock back move. 80-90% of the time. if it got broken, I was 5-15 dmg. /blush /disappoint
But with earth circlet, almost everytime will get broken...

I think it can be applied to the Hellfire survival thing...

I aggree magic att before magic crit pot. with certain condition...
I tested with melee dmg... within 50 swings, +36 crit att pot only increased tiny little bit on average damage output due to not enough crit rate.

However, if you have item like Jade Crook that "increase magic crit rate" thing, you can visually "feel" cure3 crit much more often. (I just realized I don't have the Jade Crook test data /blush /disappoint)
so ya... not really a conclusion...

I was totally feeling the crit rate on CUre III.

I healed a random person in town for 1716 points of health. That's the highest I got, but I've also crit healed between 1.5-1.6k

Crit heal amount is depend on your object.
if you Cure 3 a Lv50 your crit will be lower, for me (L50 heal-ee) my normal heal is 950 crit is 1200
for L25 heal-ee my normal heal is 950 crit is 1650ish
