Request: Reason to use Status Resistance Materia

[Raldo]

According to Kaeko's old status resistance post, the nature of [status resist]+ is equal to the effect of [magic evasion]+, except it only works for that particular ailment. Since many of the status resist materia are in the same socket spot as Manaflight, it effectively makes them 100% inferior to just socketing manaflight, if you were so inclined.

Also worth noting is that his old data points to the fact that "resisting" any DoT (poison, bio, etc.) only affects the initial damage and doesn't affect the damage/duration of the DoT itself.

In summary, unless they remove the identical correlation between status resist and magic evasion, or bump up the number on status resist materia, the status resist materia will always always always be inferior to just using an equivalent amount of magic evasion. This means that even if all they did was add encounters where you would want status resist materia, no one would use it because manaflight is better.
