I agree that HP being able to be added to every slot you can add materia makes it a very flexable materia. However thats not to say that you cant avoid HP materia all together and still build a kick ass turtle tank set. Utalizing ever benficial stat for PLD its actually not that hard at all. I will say tho, would be nice to get a vit or def or vit/def materia for the feet or hands , or hell , even bring back "magic def" and let us add that to a slot that DEF is not already available in. Reguardless HP is only as usefull as you WHMs can keep up , where as DEF and VIT actually give breathing room for your WHMs to worry less about spaming heals and can actualy use other aspects of their job to support the tank and party.

Also , She noted that she has all but one triple stacked materia, sadly I am not that far yet, but with miner to 50 now, its only a mater of time. given that extra teir 4 on each peice of gear , I am confidant a def/vit build would make coin counter look like a pus, hell, I kinda already do that LOL
