Resistance Change

[furen]

I didn't notice anyone bring this up but it really seems to me that the resistance rates were changed in this patch.

I was in Dynamis Jueno Wednesday and I got hit with a parlyga and resisted it. This was a bit of a surprise as I don't remember almost ever resisiting it, only rarely. Oddly it seemed like a few others in my party also resisted it, but at the time I didn't think much of it. As the run progressed I got hit by many more paralyga's but I resisted one after another. By the end of the night I resisted about 10 out of 11. The one that I didn't resist may very well have been a gobby para attack (I was not resisting those still). Other people seem to resist a bunch too but I don't think quite as much as me. I am a WHM taru and have tons of mind gear on so makes me wonder if Mind factors in para resist rate in a much more meaningful way then it might have before.

Even then after that it was just kind of a curiosity. After yesterday's sky run I'm sure they changed something. The sky gods were beyond a joke, sazukus 2hr went off and he got off a few firaga's in a row, honestly my parties hp barely reacted at all (yes they were barfira'd), infact I think they all stayed white on the ga.

This all became even more noticable on kirin. Normally the various attacks kirin does on tank (whirlwind attack, heat breath) take off a decent amount of hp. Heck for heat breath it's 500 base (250/125) etc... In the old days it was almost always 500 on a unbar'd tank with occasional smaller numbers. Becuase of this I would know I could start curing before the move went off because it was always going to do decent damage. This time it was regularly hitting the tank for 125 or 250. The whirlwind attack almost always hit for almost nothing (bararea'd I believe but still). Heck I even resisted 1 of the 2 sleepga's that were cast on me but that's a pretty small sample set to go by anything (I'm not the only one that resisted the sleepga).

I'm surprised that no one else has posted about this (or I missed the post sorry) but it seems that resist rates are way way higher then ever before. This might be more extreme for me becuase I'm WHM with high mind and various natural magic resist rates, but that doesn't explain the tank resisitng kirin so well. Anyone else noticing this stuff, I have been wanting to test more but been working all week. There have been all these changes STR/DEX 2H Change, Gaurd change. Maybe SE has made more changes then we realize, maybe all our stats mean more then they used to.
