Spell Interruption Rate Down Equipment Cap

[Apocolips]

Trying to macro gears in for PLD/NIN Ichi cast.

What is the best combination? and whats the equipment cap for Spell Interruption Rate Down?

Thanks for helping.

[Strai]

Shield skill + Haste

=o

[Kyte]

Something like this:

Head-Koenig Schaller
Neck-Shield Torque
Legs-Homam Cosciales
Feet-Gallant Leggings (+1)
Earring-Loquacious Earring, Ethereal Earring, and/or Buckler Earring

There's also a possible lolAdaman cuirass augment from ANNM that gives Shield Skill and Spell Interruption Down, making it a cool macro piece. An ACP body with the Fast Cast augment is also good.

I'm interested to know the equip haste cap as well, at least roughly. When looking at a build for Rdm a couple of months ago, I saw that if there were no cap, one could achieve "100% spell interrupt down." But equipping it in practice seems lackluster from what I've so far seen -.-. Maybe a really low cap?

That would beat ACP body imo, but it's debatable really.

I was under the impression Pchan tested that the cap was 102?

[Albatross]

If I'm not mistaken, the cap was tested to be 102%, and rdm was one of the few jobs that could actually reach said cap. That being said the best setup you're really going to get for -Ichi- would be:

Head: Koenig
Neck: Willpower Torque
Ear1/2: Loquac./Knightly Earring
Body: ACP/ANNM body
Waist: Resolute Belt
Legs: Valor Breeches
Feet: Karasutengu

That will give you roughly 47% spell interruption rate down (55 if you have merits).

Summary is that hitting -102% Spell Interruption Rate makes you uninterruptable. Aquaveil is worth -25% Spell Interruption Rate.
Why is it 102%? Nobody knows. Spaghetti Code, etc.

PLD can't hit it though, so you're definitely better off capping your shield proc rate and Ichi/Ni recast timers.

[Shinryuu]

It's 102% for the same reason you need 26% listed equipment haste to cap your gear haste which is 25% haste.

[Shamaya]

I must have not stacked enough. It's kind of a hassle to get all the gear for stacking it on rdm but compared to other (most) efforts in the game I guess it's not that bad. Pretty sick really.. and at least now with composure aquaveil is more practical

[Byrthnoth]

That's what I thought at first, but it isn't. 25% (Aquaveil) + 50% (Hermit Wands) = 75% cleanly (aka, 64/256 * 3 = 192/256 = 75% even), then you need to get another 25% to hit 100%. The last 25% would require 26% spell interrupt rate down (like Haste or -%MDT) if it was just from flooring losses, but it doesn't.
It seems you need to exceed 100% spell interruption rate down, not hit it, to become immune to interrupts.

[Suiram]

There wasn't really enough playing with various gear combinations to make the determination one way or the other. None of his tests did 2 wands + aquaveil + other gear like you listed. There were 2 wands + 5 other pieces of gear + merits to reach 102% without aquaveil, and 1 wand + 5 other pieces of gear + merits to reach 102% with it. This is enough to introduce a difference of >1% in translating into 256ths before summing them, especially since there were indications that karasutengu might have a peculiarly low value. Absent further testing, it seems to me that the most likely explanation is still a game calculation vs. item description discrepancy.

[Byrthnoth]

Ah, for some reason I had it in my head that he used those pieces together. It would be interesting to see if using those caused the cap to drop to 101%.

Thanks for helping.

If you can't get to cap it's useless, since PLD don't have ninustu skill, that was one of the conclusion of the thread.

so, Shield skill gear > Spell interuption down gear in PLD/NIN case?

thanks.

[RyaWHM]

That's pretty much how I feel about it, since [shield] and [-interrupt] will be checked separately.

So [60% block] + [50% interrupt] = 80% chance of success (not 110 -> 100%)

mmm i was looking more for tests proving relation between damage taken/spell related skill to interruption rate.

The test from Pchan shows :

These tests also show that the base skill doesn't provide extra spell interruption

but nothing regarding damage received ?

i mean, you could get hit 6-9 times during the casting duration but for less than some value=~ x*skill*interruptdown%, and not get interrupted ?

that alone would explain, before even talking about hitting interrupt down cap, why utsu ichi/ni casting from /nin is almost 100% interrupted, considering the dmg yu rreceive from one blow for xxx dmg.

same tests on goobbues theBoyadhaTree should yield more interesting results maybe, considering how hard hitting they are ?

[Siniroth]

Anecdotal etc: I've noticed interrupts at huge damage, and casts through huge damage, and I've noticed interrupts at 1-9 damage, and casts through 1-9 damage, in approximately equal amounts

I try to pay attention to interrupts that afflict me because I like knowing if there's any correlation between such things to but I haven't noticed any difference personally. That being said I rarely do something where I need to cast through damage so it's not a large enough sample size to draw anything but a cursory level of accurate conclusions from I wouldn't think

Same, particularly memorable when it breaks stoneskin and does 1 damage...and interrupts.

Those are my favorite things, ever.

PLD can't hit it though, so you're definitely better off capping your shield proc rate and Ichi/Ni recast timers.

From gear only, nope. But several jobs, including PLD, NIN, and BLU can hit cap using Aquaveil from a SCH, or Choral Roll (presumably, since we don't know the magnitude of the COR's effect). Might not be too practical though, since if you have a SCH or COR you'll probably have better uses for them.
