Everything there is to know about Absolute Virtue

Re-iterating my post on the other thread...

BLM elemental dots can land w/o issues with 320+ skill.
Almost 100% Resist at ~290.

On a 50 min JoL (~14 waves of summons killed), 733 damage (same element as day) dealt to it does ~2%. And it stayed that way for at least 15 seconds -> 5 ticks reduced regen.

Varying reports of HP amounts from the other thread may suggest a link between HP amount and something done to JoL. (Need verification)

That said, potential for more "enfeebles" to be linked to what is done to JoL.

I said it in the other thread, but long time ago, AV used bene twice in the same fight, and it gave different max hp both time (difference was large enough to indicate us that its max hp change during the fight).

The lower you get it, the weakest benediction is it seem, or the lower its max hp is.

Guessing you drained a hpmede? making that:

67,000 mele dmg
+3,000 magic dmg (blms?)
________________
70,000 total dmg
-4,000 regen

About 66,000 Total HP?

that'd go along with other reports, atleast

Well I've been neglecting this thread somewhat because of the excitement in the other threads. Thanks everyone for taking the time to replay. Anyways, there are some things I would like to address.

I believe it was documented that a RDM was able to land slow.

If you can find the source of this, it would be greatly appreciated. I am highly skeptical of anything that isn't well documented.

In regards to the HP total. I posted this in the other thread, but here it is again.

Since Absolute Virtue was released, it has been ninja patched several times as well as patched in the last week, so those numbers are irrelevant. All of the recent attempts indicate that it has around 66,000 HP, give or take a few thousand. The math people are using to figure out how much HP it has is giving different results because 83% is not a very descriptive number when the total HP is somewhere in the 60,000+ range.

For example, let's pretend that Absolute Virtue has exactly 64,000 HP. Let's also pretend that the percentages windower takes from the game memory is the actual percentage with the decimal dropped(meaning 83% = 83.00%~83.99%), which it probably is given the way the game calculates everything else and the fact that casting Dia on it will lower its HP to 99%. If Absolute Virtue used Benediction while windower showed 83% HP, it could restore anywhere between 10,880 and 10,240 HP. If you took the Benediction number and figured an exact HP total from it, you could get anywhere between 64,000 and 60,235 HP with that Benediction range given the assumed HP total. Variance with these numbers is going to increase the farther AV's HP is from 50%, so looking at a Benediction from the 98% mark is going to give you wildly inaccurate results.

The parse from the latest AV kills reinforces the 66,000 estimate quite well, although that's definitely not an exact figure.

I'm glad to see that the 80% trigger marks were confirmed by these latest kills. I still plan on pursuing this thread given the recent happenings, I just can't shake the feeling of a Souleater resistance being tagged onto AV. I will be updating the OP with some new stuff soon.
