    Thanks for the rest, didn't have the time to test it myself but I was figuring stuff like Job Points not being included in the doubling part.

    I trust you, I don't remember if I ever noticed this during the level 75 era, the only thing I remember from then is going /BLM at Khimaira to rotate NiTro Elegy...
    And these days, I dunno, my macc set is good enough that most of the times I can stick debuffs on everything that's not immune, at least in a few tries. Don't think I ever noticed differences with SV up. I did notice differences with NiTro Up of course, but I usually have both up at the same time and never SV alone so it would have been hard to notice a SV-exclusive macc bonus.


    Still on stuff like Wopket for example, even with max AM1, my macc debuff set (which may not be BiS but it's still pretty good), FrazzleII on Wopket, COR Macc Roll on myself, Soul Voice up AND NiTro up I still get resist messages from Elegy.
    It wouldn't bother me if i were an immunity message, but the fact I'm getting resists just annoys me. Think once I even have a -meva bubble from GEO.
    Oh well, I'm going OT.
    Thanks for clarifying the part about Macc bonus on SV.


    @Ophannus
    Yes, even on VD the BLM isn't immune. I remember on a pretty fail PUG run that took a lot of time, before I completed my Carnwenhan, I manged to sleep a second time without NiTro, SV and Elemental Seal. I had to threnody, took me several tries and sadly didn't last much. (I fucked up and accidentally came with wrong subjob, so I didn't have Elemental Seal)

    I haven't tried to elegy it but as a general statement a mob can be effectively immune without being completely immune. ie you'd normally have a 0% chance to land but immunobreaks and stymie can change that. So there is a chance it's not you but him

    So I tested a bunch of geo spells at varying skill levels

    I'm pretty hopeless at figuring out formulas. So I thought I'd post here and some one mathy could give it a try.

    Other debuffs will come later, if at all. This testing would be extremely annoying in ballista. Considering that there's a gear change between every test.

    Fighting Colkhab I noticed that an Immanenced Spell will still produce a skillchain even if the actual spell hit a shadow.


    Also its curse does not only prevent HP recovery but MP recovery from Sublimation or Myrkr, too.

    I kinda wonder about my fend values. I mean, I'm certain the base and after dmg are accuratly recorded. But I'm not so sure about my calculations to determine MDB.

    I maybe should have used a higher dmg spell... some of the dmg values could match more than MDB value.

    Idris, 79~81 MDB could have resulted in 55 dmg.
    788 skill+ Geomancy+5 , 59~61 MDB.
    845 skill GEO+5, 61~64 MDB

    Those fade/fend were in pvp I assume? And those base values are base supposed to be calculated base dmg before spell? After the actual dmg with the buff/debuff up?

    In the case of fend/fade Base is the dmg the spell did without the buff/debuff. After is the dmg with buff/debuff.

    Edit. and yes, tested in ballista. I don't believe there's any modification of nukes in PVP. iirc, it was just multi-hit ws that had a dmg nerf.

    There is a modification (I think they didn't want people sneaking up on others and doing 2k nukes back when taru melees had what 1200 hp?) though it's weird and I could never really figure it out and how it worked with other forms almost didn't seem static. It's kinda small like 49 dint stone should be dealing 108 but you show 100. Though I kind of wonder how you got 100 dmg with stone with 0 dint. That would work for stone II if there wasn't an adjustment but the 49 dint kinda show there is.

    Anyways because of that weird adjustment generally I didn't bother with acknowledging dint at all and just went comparing before and after dmg since I don't know exactly what it is doing or by how much it is doing it and where it factors in it wont be exact (like known half resists wont will be several off from half dmg and definite 1/4 resist will be way off and testing mdb values often didn't come out exactly right like had to be between 2 values etc) so if I really wanted to be thorough I'd make some worms nuke me. But since the Idris wasn't mine and I didn't want to bore Mal with that much testing I never did it for those. But I do have values for the 99 worms in ull to do math with if you want. Think it's the monster stat thread

    So may I then assume that my fend/fade results are inaccurate?

    Any further tests are... unlikely atm.

    Well just the ballista thing would make me call them more of approximates which is why the testing I posted in Idris page I had range based on doing a couple different nuke dmgs or when they were between values. But the whole getting exact dmg for stone II on the base dmg of one but the slightly lower amount I'd expect for the other one really confuses me and unfortunately I didn't record Mal's skill so can't even see how our values compared.

    Hmmm my mule has capped/merited skill so maybe can try that to compare to yours.... let's see it has 806 combine skill with just Dunaa so if I switch to Nepote bell (where does that come from anyways?) it would match your 788 +5 one and can match some of your +0 geomancy ones. Guess I'll try that soon though wont be able to get Idris or skill tiers that need augment capes

    How can you reliably weight the importance of stat vs macc for debuffs and nukes?
    I was always led to believe that Macc had a fixed importance (+1 macc always has the same weight, sorta) whereas stats have a "dynamic" importance (+1 INT can have more or less importance according to how far below you are from the target's stat. The further below the more weight +1 INT is gonna have, the closer you are the less weight it's gonna have).
    In addition to this, macc only gives macc, stats also gives potency (which can affect the strength of a debuff, or how long it lasts, and if we're talking about nukes it affects the damage, especially noticeable on low tier nukes).

    So, in light of what I said and supposing this is right and I wasn't taught bullshit (we're talking about a long time ago and back then I didn't even have mage jobs levelled), what would be a reliable way to compare two items, one with lower stats and higher macc, and one with lower macc but higher stats?




    Different question now.
    Have tests ever been performed on -RA spells from Geo? You know how for the other nukes lower tier benefit more from Mdamage/INT and less from Mab, whereas it's the other way around for high tier nukes? I was wondering where do -RA spells place themselves in this scenario.
    I've been told that normally -RA spells aren't worth using in the majority of situations, but asking just out of curiosity.

    I don't think it's been explored that well for all spells was mostly tested on nukes but probably applies for the related stats of most spells... anyways (caster's stat)-(target's stat)≤ 10. 1 int = 1 macc. (caster's stat)-(target's stat)≥ 2int = 1 macc.

    As far as "reliable" method of comparing not sure what you mean. If you are talking about overall which will grant you the most accuracy or the most dmg sure you can math it out. But you'd need mob stats to be 100% sure.

    No test required that's easy math. Also it's not that lower tier benefit from int/mdmg precisely... in terms of pure dmg they gain the same amount from mdmg and actually a bit less from int. But it's a bigger percentage gain because of the lower base dmg of lower tiers. And mab adds a fixed percentage to all magic. So a lot of it is your comparing a fixed increase to a percentage and the 2 are multiplied together so it's going to seesaw between the 2 depending on exact amounts.

    To get an approximate int and mab ratio as far as worth is concerned assuming I did my algebra correctly should be something like: +1mab~ (mdmg + V+ dint*M)/(MAB*M) increase in int


    Alternately you could just plug your gear sets into the same dmg equation that I used to derive that to determine which gear is better

    So something interesting I found out about Weather, comparing the effect provided by Storm spells and the effect provided by World weather.
    Previously it was thought that Stormweather always "overwrote" the world weather. As such, an intensity1 Stormweather would never "stack" with an intensity1 World weather.
    Said in other words: Fire weather + Firestorm => 10% damage bonus, not 25%.
    I found out this is wrong. Storm Weather does stack with world weather.

    Spoiler: show

    Thunder5
    No weather ==> 6610
    World Weather => 7270
    World + T1 storm => 8260
    T2 storm => 8266


    Water5 (firesday)
    Thunder weather => 2891
    Thun wea + Rainstorm => 3532
    Thun wea + Rainstorm2 => 4017


    Water5 (firesday)
    no weather => 6467 (lv 20 gadfly)
    rainstorm => 7111 (lv 20 gadfly)
    Rainstorm2 => 8084 (lv 20 gadfly)
    water weather => 7111 (lv 20 gadfly)
    water wea + Rainstorm => 8084 (lv 20 gadfly)
    wather wea + Rainstorm2 => 8084 (lv 20 gadfly)

    water5 (earhtsday)
    no weather => 6447 (lv 21 gadfly)
    rainstorm => 7111 (lv 20 gadfly)
    rainstorm2 => 8057 (lv 21 gadfly)


    fire5 (earthsday)
    water weather => 5876 (lv 21 gadfly)
    water weather, rainstorm => 4897 (lv 21 gadfly)
    water weather, rainstorm2 => 4897 (lv 21 gadfly)
    water weather, firestorm => 7204 (lv 20 gadfly)
    water weather, firestorm => 7181 (lv 21 gadfly)
    water weather, firstorm2 => 8160 (lv 21 gadfly)
    no weather => 6550 (lv 20 gadfly)
    no wea, firestorm => 7181 (lv 21 gadfly)
    no wea, firestorm2 => 8187 (lv 20 gadfly)



    My conclusions from this small test are the following:

    Yes, Stormspells do "overwrite" world weather when it comes to calculating the damage. (i.e. with firestorm up and water weather up, I still get the 10% bonus instead of 0%)
    Yes, Stormspells do stack with world weather. (i.e. a T1 storm spell and same element Intensity1 world weather, gives 25% bonus like an intensity2 weather spell)



    Please correct me if you find anything wrong in my tests.

    Question what if you used competing weathers with the new obi?

    I did use competing weathers with the new obi, it's in my test.
    Water5 used with Rainstorm up and Thunder Weather (world) up.
    Then Fire5 used with Rainstorm/Rainstorm2 up and Water Weather (up).

    After finding out that Single weather spell stacks with single world weather, I was expecting a different result with competing weather, but appearently in those situations the Spellweather takes priority and the worldweather gets ignored.
    Which is nothing new, it was always believed to work like that afaik.
    The "new" thing is about world weather stacking with spellweather when they're the same element (not competing)

    Well you didn't specify which obi if any were used that's why I asked

    Oh... yes, but I used Hachirin-no-Obi, it's the only one I have atm.
    This was a surprising turn of event btw.
    Byrth is already fixing Gearswap to take this into account, if you were curious. Should be released pretty soon.

    Enlight II

    Since I haven't seen anything detailed even this late after update, and I finally got enough JP for it.. A bit on Enlight II.
    Code:
    skill base  Final ACC+
    425   748   845   97
    430   748   845   97
    435   748   848   100
    440   748   848   100
    445   748   848   100
    450   748   850   102
    455   748   850   102
    460   748   853   105
    465   748   853   105
    470   748   853   105
    475   748   855   107
    480   748   855   107
    485   748   855   107
    490   748   858   110
    495   748   858   110
    500   748   860   112
    505   748   860   112
    So, PLD got an extra 38 acc(depending on where your divine set was before.)

    425 was the lowest I could test at without unmeriting.

    So the tiers maintain the +2, +3, +2 gain pattern of Enlight I. But I don't really get how the skill tiers work. Seems to be going back and forth between 10 and 15 skill jumps.

    So, highest reasonable tier is at 490, for 110 acc/base dmg. Which means I have to carry one more piece of divine gear than I did for Enlight I.

    Next up, does Enlight II+Runes still work to maintain the acc bonus?

    124 serac rabbit
    PLD/RUN, 884 ACC.
    Code:
    Melee Damage
    Player            Melee Dmg  Abs'd.Dmg   Net Dmg   Melee %   Hit/Miss    M.HR %   M.Acc %  M.Low/Hi  M+0.Avg  M-0.Avg
    Martel                11587          0     11587   88.99 %     74/262   22.02 %   22.02 %    98/174   136.21   136.21
    I'm pretty sure that's actually floored. Which is fine. I'm not trying to quantify. Just confirm yes/no on ACC+.

    Enlight II+Ignis.
    994 acc, says check param. But I wanna know for certain.
    Code:
    Melee Damage
    Player            Melee Dmg  Abs'd.Dmg   Net Dmg   Melee %   Hit/Miss    M.HR %   M.Acc %  M.Low/Hi  M+0.Avg  M-0.Avg
    Martel                23356          0     23356   78.74 %     161/50   76.30 %   76.30 %    96/174   134.09   134.09
    Yep, looks like it still works. PLD is now insanely accurate. But only on melee. Gonna take like full Acro with acc and WS acc+ 20 to catch my WS set up to my TP set. <,<;; I guess I'll just atonement for now. Enlight acc works on WS. See following posts.
