PLD Rampart

[Serif]

Is there a cap to the max damage it reduces like Stoneskin?

I can get around 181 VIT if I added like 4-5 pieces but some one in LS they thought the cap was 350 like Stoneskin or something so if I were to do a Rampart Macro I would only need 175 VIT.

i cant verify this with any formula's from otherwiki as i'm currently at work but i'm gonna hazard an educated guess that vit does not modify rampart, as i'm pretty sure i recall a party in mire where an imp was doing something-ga 3 and it did next to 0 dmg (the spell otherwise doing a good 600-800 dmg)

i took notice and kinda wtf'd as i don't have pld lvled and never really paid attention to this job ability (typical hnm fights for our LS did not involve my white mage getting nailed by the same magic as the tank as i was typically standing out of aoe/cone/breath damage range/direction, so didnt note the reduced magic dmg)

VIT is proven to affect damage absorbed by Rampart. However I don't believe the cap has been determined yet.

Physical damage, unless you mean Ballista.

As cheesy as it sounds...Ouryu/Jorm/Tia should be pretty good for testing it, since their air attacks always do the same damage (barring a barspell kit, of course). Just crank your VIT, pop rampart, and tally up the damage absorbed.
