That's actually the complete opposite of what i do. I leveled all atk Rs (19 same ele Rs + 1 same ele SR) and good SRs like atk/affliction + def (20+5 same ele SRs). SSRs are so expensive to max that I only do it if it's actually really good and i have enough spare gems (which rarely is the case, damn EU times + awakenings).
