    if my rdm was 75 I'd go out and cast a few spells at colibri and see what they hit me for when they reflect in int and mnd and no gear

    Why are half the people in this thread talking about the offensive effects of INT, while the other half are talking about the defensive effects?

    Some people think that equipping a large amount of MND will have no benefit when a Black Magic spell is cast upon you.

    The other people think that equipping a large amount of MND will increase the change of a Black Magic spell being resisted when cast upon you (in other words, taking a fraction of the damage as opposed to a small decrease in potency).

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this what the OP was concerned with?

    I was told by other mages when I started playing to watch out for Beetles when nuking because they have higher MND and will have a higher resist rate. From what I'm reading in this thread, there's no concrete evidence to support this, but I have heard it on more than one occasion, and my own experiences seem to reflect that in a limited sense, but I don't discount the Placebo Effect as a possible cause.

    I will say this, though. I am a MND whore. Spare me the lectures on Cure Potency > MP > MND and all that fun stuff. I've gone into the Mire with over 130 MND, and it's very hard for Cursed Sphere or Firaga III to do "full damage" to me, and this is taking into account a WHM's native Magic Defense Bonus. It's gotten to the point where I've just stopped putting up Stoneskin because I don't pull hate and the magic doesn't hurt me at all.
