Everyone dose realize you can in fact have up to 3 of the same Primal Weapon right? Its actually realy simple. obtain weapon #1 put it on retainer #1 . Obtain weapon #2 , put it on retainer #2 , and just like that you can hold a 3rd of the same primal weapon, lets not forget totems stack to 99

Cant say I am understanding the delema here. If you get a secondary drop, or you have enough totems to get a secondary weapon, soo long as there is no chance of shit materia, why not pop your extras?

As far as the materia its self, I think people are not looking at the bigger picture here. Sure for healers their AF may be better for some situations, but as far as MP and magic healing potency , as a PLD , that sure as shit beats eva, or magic eva. same gose for block rate over dext. Soo QQ all you want , but the new materia is actually good alts for what we have now, especially if you double/triple stack III or IV
