Trusts

[dasva]

Actually with trusts being used in abyssea atmas would also be a super easy way to test

[Fwahm]

Rosulatia does magical earth damage with her physicals.

Are you guys sure Selh does magic damage with his physicals? I seem to remember his attacks varying like physical damage.

[FaeQueenCory]

They'd vary if they're getting resisted I guess...
But iirc, someone used Malaise/Acumen and his auto-attacks became beastly just like Balamor's.

Also, Dasva pointed out the better way to test for magic and element!
Use certain atmas!
For August, no Atma, a MAB Atma, and then a light Maff atma.
If it's magic, it'll be boosted by the MAB.
It it's light, it'll be boosted by the Maff.
And if it's not, it won't. lol

[dasva]

Well resists would just cut dmg by 1/2 or 1/4 etc. But some forms of magic dmg do vary a little bit. Like some additional dmg from certain mobs such avatars or additional effects from runes... you could also kind of consider absorb/drain like that

[FaeQueenCory]

Well, I'd assume testing would be done on GEO to help floor resist states...
Unless it's like drain/aspir, like you said........

But Teodor's Fire has always given me extremely consistent damage (I can't recall a time where it has ever resisted on me), so it would stand to reason that August works similarly to Teodor in the same way that Balamor and Selh'teus work the same.

[Fwahm]

I just rechecked Sehl'teus. He definitely does physical, not magical damage. His attacks vary like Pdif-influenced attacks do, defense downs affect his damage, he can crit, be guarded, and be countered.

[dasva]

Well I more meant that if it was resist it wouldn't be varying a little so much as full on 1/2 or greater reductions so very obvious if it was the case.

Also I just kind of thought of another way of testing... addon mobs that only take certain dmg types would work decent. Could even check for specific physical types and ranged

[FaeQueenCory]

that's another good idea! I forgot about the Shantotto mobs.

And Selh'teus is physical? Do you mean his TP moves? Or do you mean his auto-attacks? (I think one of his TP moves is magical, but all the others are physical.)

[Fwahm]

His auto attacks are physical. I didn't check his TP moves, and have no idea which ones are physical or magical.

New trusts:

King Of Hearts: Obtained with Sparks.
He's a RDM, with the best intro line ever (Need RDM? Please send tell!)
Dia 3, Refresh 2, Haste 2, Phalanx 2, also has access to -na spells. One tic of auto-refresh.
Also has access to T4 -aga black magic, which
Has a TP move called Shuffle, which I believe dispels, Double Down, which is just damage, and of course, Bludgeon, which is his signature that he uses to close skillchains, on which he then magic bursts with T4 -aga magic!

Morimar: Obtained with Bayld from the Peacekeeper's Coalition.
Seems very similar to the Sinister Reign version.

Makki-Chebukki: Obtained with conquest points.
Ranged attacker, seems to have access to most bow WS. Flashy Shot, Barrage, Sharpshot has all been seen.
Has party synergy with Kukki-Chebukki and Cheruki.
Okay, just saw Meteor, when I resummoned Kukki.

Spoiler: show

I don't think it was full power because Cherukiki was buffing, but looks like it can be done!

[Sechs]

King of Hearts has access to Temper? Lol?
But no dispel... I mean the spell, not Shuffle.
Also worried about the -ga spells.
Wonder if he casts Haste2 on mages as well. Koru-Moru doesn't.

[stamos]

He does. I'm on whm does haste II/refresh II/phalanx II

[Prothescar]

King of Hearts sounds ridiculous

[Draylo]

They do meteor amazing haha

[FaeQueenCory]

I like how they indicate who is adding to the meteor via their chat.
You literally only got a mete__. XD

[Shadowlina]

Been playing with king of hearts.
Here's what i've noticed:
-Trust Synergy with Shantotto, meaning he will buff her regardless of her emmity.
-Dialog lines with Ovjang and Mnejing.
-One instance of Skillchaining with Mjejing (Sixth Element to Deal Out to Darkness Skillchain), Perhaps this would of Magic bursted.
-Closes Fusion Weaponskills with Firaga 4, and Magic bursts. (6k Damage on Mandragora's)
-King of hearts DOES cast haste 2 on mages. He was casting Haste II on my WHM/NIN.

[Byrthnoth]

Goodbye, Koru.

Hello, BossHeart.

[Shadowlina]

More on King of hearts:
-If the mob buffs, he will use Shuffle, which functions as a dispel. (Only downside to this really is that this requires TP)

[nivlakian]

Trying out King of Hearts, I wasn't fully paying attention to him at the time but suddenly the "Level up" graphic played on him during a fight. I assume perhaps he uses this to restore his MP instead of converting.

[Draylo]

So hard to get Cherukki to finish Meteor :/ whyyyy, never once has she finished it.
