I screwed up my first Nidra to but now I'm making a 5/145/50/0 Diwari, those stats will really help a ranger out.

-The invincibility lasts 10 seconds on GC/Xbox, not more, it doen't work all the time, so you can't rely on it. Not that it's good anyway.
-The S/D is Lv 6, totally useless.
-The healing is dependant on MST, which means that it will heal less than 100 HP on androids = completely useless, since non-androids have their own Resta.
-And 90% of the mags do revive you (very rarely).
So yeah, mags don't matter, pick one according to its looks, that's all
Temper, temper, temper. We have already established that they are not consistantly reliable, but... and this is key here, it is a welcome benefit when it does happen. Being in a crowded room with your back to the wall, and then becoming invincible for 10 seconds is tide turning ability. It is a trinket to say the least, but we are trying to decide here which of these little surprises that the mags have are the ones that we want. You do have valid points, but you are not helping the situations by telling us so. And guess what, S/D at lvl 6 for an android is fantastic. Explaining the obvious here, but androids don't really have a choice or say in the matter when it comes to casting spells. As for healing, a little healing never hurt anybody. Mags casting reverser , while rarely as you say, come as a great surprise versus bosses when your Forces or your entire party for that matter just bit the dust. I emphasize however that you are correct, mags are not as readily dependable as they should be, which is a shame. When a mag does decide to come through for you, you will not hear me complaining. So in a way, we want the best surprises that could nudge our characters in a profitable way, if only slight. So mags do matter, to me at least, and thats all that matters. So again I dare ask, what is the best mag for a ranger?

RAcaseal has the highest DFP of all chars, and 2nd HP.
RAmar has low DFP, but 4th best HP.
RAmarl has average HP but good DFP.
Learn your chars.
Was this last comment really nessesary?

I was not mad, angry or anything, it's probably how I came off, as usual, but it's mainly your interpretation of my tone.
What you say is true, mag abilities can be useful, but my main point was that none is better than another, so mags don't matter in that sense.
I have a Lv 194 HUcast, Lv 174 RAcast, Lv 112 RAcaseal and Lv 50 HUcaseal, and I never found S/D Lv 6 of any use on an android, let alone a Resta that heals less than 1/15th of my HP gauge when I'm in a plight.
My Lv 190 FOnewearl uses a Sato, which randomly makes me invincible, it never saved my life.
If you wants mags easy to raise, Diwari, Nidra and Savitri are the easiest mags to raise in the game. Nidra gives invincibility, the other two give S/D.
Mag cell mags are also easy to raise, Soniti gives invincibility on all occasions.
I really insist that you choose a mag that suits your char, even if you find their abilities remotely inportant, they're not important enough to set for mismatching mag.

Point well taken. I love it when discussions go well. This being my first in this website, was particularly pleasing. I guess I could make than a Female Hunter then, dress her like Misty (from pokemon fame) and give it that Butterfree looking mag (regardless of what it does) for some style points. Stats would again read something like 5/145/50/0, cast nothing but Barta series spells (water pokemon specialty) and call it a day. Just hope that I don't run into a thousand other look alikes. Now what to do about the section? Perhaps maybe Whithil or the ever popular Skyly (for Hunters at least). What do you think? Do you all like?
EDIT: Nidra + their ability still rule. Rock on scorpions!

I prefer to have an average amount of dex on a mag, beef it out with slots instead
For instance, a 5/145/50/0
on my RAcast that is

Personally i've gone for dex a bit more of a dexy mag then power.... i've got a 30 defence 70Dex and 100Power.... as well as it making a nice Pushan Mag ^_^ (He's just so cute  ) I like the extra dex for helping out on speacil attacks and to well... hit your target XD and cause i'm a RAcast they have the highest atk of the ranger group so i dont need to go crazy with the power ^_^ the high def is cause later on the monsters can get alittle to close and i'd like to stay alife to get up or run away and get a better shot as well as taking less damage plus if i rember dex does help you block alittle... so even less damage... (i might be wrong on that but i think it does help a tiny bit )
