    Dmg reduc gear

    This came up awhile ago in my LS and we were arguing about it for a good while, and I was talking to someone about it tonight and we still couldn't quite come to an agreement.

    If you stack dmg reduc gear. Lets say earth staff Arh+1 body and arh head+1 (which brings your total to -35%) Furthermore for the sake of making this easy lets say you consistantly get hit for 100 dmg) does the 35% all get stacked so it becomes 65 dmg every hit? or does like earth staff dmg get reduced first then arhats body then head or what?

    All stacks, so 35% damage reduction from 100 will have you taking 65 damage.

    knew someone was gonna post this when i did omg..

    It stacks, but I'm fairly sure it caps at 50%.

    You could test, I think MNK can get something like -62% damage taken.

    Yeah it caps at 50%, BRD can get 85% supposedly. Still 50% damage reduction is hot shit and really makes any job a viable tank if they sub NIN and can hold hate.

    If I'm not mistaken, all dmg%- gear (and maybe anything given as a %) is calculated as a fraction with 256 in the demoniator. So Earth Staff's 20% is actually 51/256, or 19.9%, Jelly Ring is 12/256 (4.6%) and so on, which is why you don't always seem to be getting the full effect.

    This is incorrect. It's not calculated as a sum of the % reduction gear.

    The highest damage reduction piece is calculated first, and the remaining damage taken is calculated with the next piece, and so on.

    i.e.:

    100dmg hit >> -20% Staff = 80dmg

    80dmg >> -9% HQ Gi = 72.8dmg

    72.8dmg >> -6% HQ Jinpachi = 68.4 dmg taken, etc.

    Iirc, the final damage taken is rounded up.

    So, there's a dispute.

    1000 Needles does 650dmg or it does 684.

    Do eet.

    Hmmm i coulda sworn there was a taru that did some extensive testing with this using cactuar... If i remember correctly, it had calculations and pictures/logs with a control, and just about every combonation of dmg% reduction gear tested.... i cant seem to find it with the search function;_;

    Anyone else remember the thread im talkin about? XD
    If you do.. can you find it? lol i just spent like 20 minutes flippin through pages of old posts and its making me crazy ><

    Yeah, here is a KI post by someone who has done some of the most comprehensive dmg%- testing I've seen. I was slightly off though, it's not 256, 250 maybe?
