What part of "Damage resistance" don't people understand. If it's defense, they say defense.

[Reality]

I FEEL LIKE EVERYONE IS TAKING CRAZY PILLS!!!!

lol

This space reserved until the direction that its damage resistance was adjusted has been discovered.

Do you mean when it would do 1028 dmg randomly instead of 750? Pretty sure 750 was the highest you got normally with the ws.

I figured those were DA procs, I had seen Tan crank out like 10 straight 720s then a 750 then back to 720s.

[Tricen]

Interesting... Although, if it were something like they lowered his defense, they probably wouldn't have put it in the patch notes and just let us assume.

I'm wondering why they picked 720 as the Atonement cap. I figured they would use a nice round number. Like 1000. Hint, hint SE...

The reason it did 1028 was because it was used on Freke. <_< I can't believe I have to explain this to people, lol.

And yeah, 720 is the damage cap for Atonement. Kaeko and I did some tests and once he gets the numbers nailed down you'll see a post regarding it I'm sure. Basically, in short, Atonement is capped at 360 from CE and 360 from VE, for a total of 720. Sometimes it will do 750, but there's not any good explanation for that - meaning it's probably what SE fixed.

Thanks, I never really saw anything about a 1028 so wasn't sure what that was about. Something else I'm curious about but I'll carry it over into the WS testing thread and not here.

And here I was thinking I'd never have to worry about dying again. Was nice while it lasted, Super Aegis.

fingers crossed for lowered defense

Wow, that's amazingly optimistic...even for me.

And I like to think of myself as the eternal optimist.

I wasn't familiar with Freke (it's been awhile since I last played) so I missed that part as well as the 720 dmg cap. Eh, either way if they just made it where it'll always do 720 max then that'll be fine.

It's not like we're 100% sure that the issue was AV's defense rather than some physical damage resistance trait. If it was DEF, we should have been able to make a dent between SV Minuets, Angon, and Dia.

That said, I'd be pretty shocked if this was not an AV buff. I just hope actual endgame players bitch just as loudly as the Allatards who whined when AV was killable, and that Square takes their complaints just as seriously.

[orson]

People need to start spamming SE saying we are sick of getting fucked around, just come out tell us how to fucking kill it since apparently we aren't doing right.

[Reality]

i seriously see this as a souleater resistance buff to AV, but we'll see

[Tricen]

Didn't AV take minimal damage from everything but SE and shit?

[Priran]

this argument sucks

they didn't specify any type of damage, it could mean physical damage just as easily as it could mean souleater-type damage

Yeah, I'm hoping they didn't change the formula because I spent a lot of time testing that WS. @_@

[Jkun]

When we tried, SE was doing it's normal damage, but we also had a few MNK and WAR (proper WAR mind, Ridill/Adaberk/etc) doing shitty 40-60 damage a swing. (The MNK weren't /DRK unfortunatly).
