Yeah foik is kinda expensive and has rather short duration so unless it gets seriously buffer it wont be used for anything but hate with a slight side benefit of possibly evade some tp moves

Out of my curiosity, has anyone tested Foil possible to save your life from "one shot" situation ?
For example, Chariot NM in A-Grauberg, which can deal dmg over 5k?

Just wondered, Foil possible works as Mikigari ( name could be wrong ) for NIN.

I think there is some testing earlier in this thread but the evasion it granted was just kinda decent iirc. However doubt it would work on that since you can't evade it to begin with.

yea, Foil is just Flash II. It blinds a bit, but it's an enmity tool more than a protection buff. I really wish RUN got Stun instead of flash.

Swordplay is solid and has no downside, It's in a fine position imo.

Reason I asked, Final Sting in new expansion, 90% the time it is really sting... like one shot a Tarutaru.

I had Foil up full time while fighting it. And Final Sting "bam"! I thought I am gonna die but ... taking 26dmg only.

I'll go Abyssea to try later when I get back from lunch

**chichicha** · 2013-04-20 06:29

Tested, nope, it doesn't work that way lolz

**banggugyangu** · 2013-04-20 08:55

Final sting damage is based on the mob's current HP. Odds are its HP was at ~1% when it used it for 26 damage.

It's also very random even at certain hps

I don't think it makes much of a difference, but would it be considered evasion if you still take damage?

On some physical move or even hybrids that basically count as multiple hits, yes. On a magical move which discord is no that would be resist. So maybe if it upped magic evasion it might. However discord is part of a special breed of magical moves that do set amounts of dmg and aren't resistable

**Chamaan** · 2013-04-20 16:48

Yeah if you evaded the TP move it's just a miss. Only thing I ever could maybe say Foil did for me was as a level 60 Run at worm camp in La Thiene A, I dodged a single Full Force Blow with it up. But that could've just been a fluke Acc ceiling thing. Sometimes the sun shines on a dog's ass, ya know.

Just realized RUN has Club C- , but searching from FFxiah.com best Club we can use is Rapheal lolz

If you didn't see my dev translation on Friday, they are cutting Final Sting damage by about 50% in the update.

So already kinda made concluded but hadn't proved but enspell dmg isn't effected by mdb. Tested on whm yag made sure it had mdb via qd

**chichicha** · 2013-04-24 02:45

Has anyone go Naakual as RUN?
I was wondering how is Lunge doing there? Like QD surpassed some 'shield' ?

QD surpasses shields because it ignores mdt. Lunge doesn't

**Taim Meich** · 2013-04-30 15:36

Resistance now goes up 54 per rune instead of 32 at 99, pretty substantial increase.

**Byrthnoth** · 2013-04-30 15:43

That means they changed the formula pretty substantially. Before it was:

Floor(Level/10)*3 + 5

But 54-5 = 49, which is not evenly divisible by 3 (or 9, of course).

**Taim Meich** · 2013-04-30 15:45

Yeah, I tried to think of a formula following the same pattern, but couldn't. If I'm bored, I'll bug a friend to change to a low level job and sync to see the potency at different levels.

Edit: Unless it's just now Floor(Level/10)*6, lol.

**Kanriel** · 2013-04-30 16:47

/49 RUN gives 29 resistance per rune.
