Only with very high edb amount. At least for elemental its true. For example with 4+1 i have only something like 310 edb. It means edb staff still better. And with 3+2 its definitely better. And also easier to forge, because main power here is cheap elemental bindings instead destruction.
Of course Forging MDB is always more costly than Forging EDB. And don't forget that MDB can be forged up to Level 100, where EDB is limited to Level 50.
Overall, MDB is better, but for most cases, since many players don't have enough credits to fully forge MDB, EDB becomes the more economical option for them. That's why EDB Staffs are generally sought out by not so rich people, while the rich people seek top notch Destruction Staffs.

but they're plenty fragile already.
It's only natural. If mages had the same defense as Melee, the gameplay wouldn't be balanced. Besides, in this patch, playing Mage is now a lot more tricky for low level players.

Q1.
If
the formula is correct, the min level of a player who is able to face max PL monsters is 349.
((349+125)^ 1.27)) - 247 = 2254 >= 2250 (max PL) (ex: Kodou Yuki, Tsukiko Tsutsukakushi, Cracker Jim)
However, according to my observations, players under level 349 are able to encounter max PL monsters:

https://forums.e-hentai.org/index.php?s=&am...t&p=3943898 (player level: 298)
https://forums.e-hentai.org/index.php?s=&am...t&p=3792215 (player level: 331)
so on and so forth
Is the formula incorrect, or did I make a wrong calculation?
Umm...the lowest level of player whom I know have encountered Koudo Yuki was Lv.201 (Just a few months ago, before the patch).

I don't know. I find something amusing about a scenario in which you try to cast spark, but die before it fully takes effect.
Why the flying fuck does this idea sounds so damn similar to GC's??? (IMG:[

1 <= PL < 25: 0 time a day.
25 <= PL < 750: once a day.
750 <= PL < 1000: twice a day.
1000 <= PL < 1499: thrice a day.
1499 <= PL <= 2250: 3 ~ 24 times a day.

Tenboro wants you to notice the Crude and Average gears. They are asking: "Notice me senpai!" (IMG:[
