Dancer's Violent Flourish and Magic ACC

[Rionel]

This just occured to me just now.

I mean, I know Stutter Step helps Violent Flourish's Stun land much better, so does that mean wearing Magic Accuracy gear helps with it as well?

I know you still need ACC to land the actual hit ('cause it has to hit for it to stun) but what about this? Just curious if anyone knows...

It has to be two fold: you not only need the acc to make sure the hit lands (it can deal a normal swing's worth of dmg) but then its second effect is stunning. That stunning part, which also has a chance to simply not stun, is aligned with an element like the stun spell is: can't stun thunder elementals with the spell or VF.

Another odd thing is how you can still get a VF-stun to land while a monster is magic or physical immune as I've done that to proto-ultima myself (wearing relic body and having stutter steps up). Though ultima does resist VF-stun, unlike how mobs in dynamis are just about always stunned with VF without a stutter step. Though my experiences with this have been with relic body on since I got it before given a chance to bring dnc to some events.

In exp pts I remembered it had trouble landing the stun effect without a stutter step up, so there has to be some base chance of it working with maybe mob lvl, mob resistances, and player lvl in a calculation since you can easily VF-stun any non-stun immune mob lower lvl then you, but if much higher lvl then you will have problems landing it. Would take someone with a lot of free time to parse to see a better correlation and possibly what could alter it outside of stutter steps, but then there isn't that much macc gear dnc can wear (omega ring, balrahn's ring, denali pants and boots... what else?).

I'd like to see some testing on exactly how much the Relic Body affects your % chance to land the stun on certain mobs. Unfortunately I don't have it yet so I can't try anything myself but I've heard it boosts your land rate for the additional effect tremendously.

Yes, magic accuracy noticably helps the stun effect from Violent Flourish land.
