Cleric's Mitts and Banish

[Meian]

A while back on the ffxi wiki it showed each of the Banish spells and the duration of the increased damage for certain weapons on undead for each. That chart is no longer there for some reason (or I just can't find it).

I was curious for this chart (or if anyone can tell me the numbers for each level of Banish) and how much more the Cleric's Mitts increase this duration.

This would be really hard to test, there's no "banish effect wears off" message and you can't go grab your undead PC friend and go ballista...I've never heard of a chart with this info.

Duration of the effect of banish on undead using Cleric's Mitts is equal to your recast timer of that spell.
Cast banish3, when your recast timer hits 0:00, the undead mob starts taking less dmg from slash/pierce (mostly talking about skeletons.)

So wear lots of slow+% gear while casting? o.O

The only real use for Cleric's Mitts was back when KR Tomb was THE place for merits. 6k/hr with 3 mnks was the top tier.

Now it's more like, Banish 3 that pesky Bhoot in Besieged and get 2 extra dmg a hit. Worthless.

6k/h at krt? doing it wrong

heh, found a nice fault in my logic. should time it then for a more accurate answer. Just using my rule of thumb, that I see mob starting taking less dmg when the timer is up.

/agree - pretty sure that KRT was one of the few places you could get something like 10k/hr (maybe more for others) and I loved my KRT parties.

When I did it we capped out around 18k/hour, most of the time we were more in the 12-14k/hour range. That was hard work though, it's much easier to get those xp rates in ToAU areas.

But...the main use for banish was on ghosts, which were the main thing that would break chains. Banish III -> monks make lots of skillchains.
