    MDB Testings

    Starting MDB testings since I got back onto the test server (MDKuser's suggestion worked).

    [[(Base + Gun)*2)]*[SDT]]*[MAB/MDB]

    Resist is there somewhere (I think Moku tested this but too lazy to look through the thread atm).

    Since this won't be 'done' for a while, I rather not post the individual pictures, but I am linking to a folder with them: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/udmlkszfujjizs5/uad-R6tglv


    With that gear, the equation above becomes...

    (306)*(150/100) = 459

    Thus, normal QDs are 459 damage

    Starting with easy mobs and probably VW NMs for now. Notables so far:
    - NM Fungaur at West Ron 120 MDB
    - NM Sheep at La Theine 120 MDB (Not seen; forgot to SS this zone)
    - NM Fish at Valkurm Dunes 120 MDB
    - Ig Alima 130 MDB
    - Bot Rex 140 MDB
    - Kaggen 150 MDB
    - Akvan 120 MDB
    - Pil (Behe Dominion) 150 MDB
    - Baneberry 130 MDB
    - Melancholic Moira 130 MDB

    - Sarbaz 130 MDB
    - Asb 160 MDB
    - Rukh 120 MDB
    - Shah 130 MDB
    - Wazir 130 MDB
    - Provenance Watcher either 340 or 170 MDB; depends on whether the reductions were 1/4 or 1/2 (I'm thinking 170 MDB is more likely tbh)

    - Lofty Wyrm 130 MDB
    - Lofty Behemoth 160 MDB
    - Lofty Adamantoise 100 MDB (Got a full 459 hit on him)

    - Mired Cerberus 130 MDB
    - Mired Hydra 120 MDB
    - Mired Khimaira 120 MDB

    - Soaring Corse 150 MDB
    - Soaring Vampyr 100 MDB
    - Soaring Dvergr 130 MDB

    - Veiled Sandworm 130 MDB
    - Veiled Ixion 110 MDB
    - Veiled Amphipthere 150 MDB

    Also found Ig Alima's SDT to be 1/2 (Perfectly calculated the 21 DMG ice shot) and proof that SDT and Resist are different terms.

    I know a lot of this is going to be lame info, but I may as well be thorough.

    Edit: I do not fancy linking my FFXI folder, but idk another way, so ya...

    When you say "130 MDB" you mean the MDB term is 1.3, right?

    Btw, I could use some tech support here. I would like to take an SS and have the SS saved within my dropbox/SS/Yugl/Zone folder. This would let me search by zone for the MDB of a specific mob.


    Also, I'll probably start with VW NMs at this rate.Botolus 40 MDB and Ice SDT.

    idk if this saves you any time, however I have Kaggen with 50 MDB, Pil with 50MDB and -50% SDT to all darkness-based elements.

    Seems Mired Cerb has 1/4 resist to ice and thunder. That's the only property that worked (1/4 resist didn't work unless that comes before MAB/MDB check). If ES + Spell works, we can actually determine resist placement properly.

    Soaring Dvergr has at least 1/4 SDT to ice damage.

    Veiled Sandworm has 1/4-1/8 SDT against Water (I assume this applies to any non-wind element though).

    Thus far, the only mobs with MDB seem to be 1) NMs or 2) Mobs with classes that have MDB trait

    Interestingly, mobs can have MDB from NM + trait (Explains why you see 142 MDB; most likely 12 from trait and 30 from NM).

    Back in 2005 NMs were given a special property to take reduced damage to spells of the same element that were cast on them continuously to discourage manaburning (hint: it failed). Was the extent of the damage reduction to a single element ever quantified and was the threshold/quota for activating this resistance and the potency ever quantified?

    Never played around with testing on nukes but having done alot of rdm/nin soloing and rdming for nms could really see how it effected debuffs. And well it worked differently on all. And it wasn't so much how much you casted as how often. To the point where even if you capped resistances if you waited a long time it went away. So I could stick to say bind to help me kite then go to gravity allowing bind resist to lower and go back to bind. Some I could do that indefinitely for others only a cycle or 2.

    Has anyone tested Fjalar's SDT to Light/Dark? If he has SDT against those elements, he has 240 MDB total lol.
