Huh, but aren't there more ways to boost Atk over Agi? Dex and Mag are in the same boat, they simply don't have the same amount of skills that boost them compared to Atk.

Anyway, I'm not saying it should do an attack and imbue an element, just that Fist skills can get an attack and also a buff for 4 turns (Or apply more than one elemental effect at once), while Spellblade skills trade the attack for a 6 turn longer buff. Considering some bosses can dispel buffs, the 10 turn duration is too long for an offensive buff that only works for the user. I'd like a shorter duration with amped up effects.

I suppose the issue with the Alchemist skills is because the really good effects require rare materials to use... Of course, you'll tell yourself you'll save it for a harder fight. Then the game is over, and you've stockpiled 99 of the items...
