Rora>> you nab, Earth’s staff not for Stoneskin @@;<\/p>\n

Majeev been having mad inventory problem, I walk out, mage gear… O.O, 52 pieces without any poison pots.. sneak pots, RR gorget, not even a bazaar >.>!! omfg ><; so i was wondering if i really need neptune staff and shit like enhancing torque for stoneskin :O\n\nI went to Tsunade Taru~ and ask... knowing Tsunade's pretty knowledgable in rdm, went to discuss the issue of stoneskin potency ^^ (we discuss a lot about our job ^^ jus tryin to be better.) and Tsu has suggested.. to go get fooked up at west altepa by 1000 needles '-' cuz tat thing ignores defense ^^ and constant dmg, so ya!\n\n\n\n\n

\"Testing<\/p>\n

Maxed out Stoneskin is 350<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Here we go, since its like 6am, i borrow a friend’s account and go test ^^ we have no merit in anything that would affect stoneskin (MND\/enhancing), so two rdm tarus would be a great way to start (same race, eliminate another variable)<\/p>\n

But stupid cactus hits for 100 naked, so my first test was… to see if 1000 needles gets affected by defense (1000 is a spirit-within type WS), just to make sure. <\/p>\n

\"Testing<\/p>\n

Without Stoneskin, both takes 500dmg<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Apparently defense of 120 versus 400 makes no difference, so this set of gear was used through the experiment.<\/p>\n

Then we went on gather data by keeping all other variable constant and only changing the others.. and here are the results.<\/p>\n

Sohjai’s been my control set, to make sure every 1000 needles, is the same as others, as recorded, his dmg taken was always 500.<\/p>\n

Raw data shows, I apparently reach a point where a constant 150 dmg was taken (after ripping through stoneskin) @ row 7,8 (top , so I added a crap load of enhancing and all possible MND on row 9 test, and still the dmg taken is still 150, so we can say<\/p>\n

\"Testing<\/p>\n

The Excel Data<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Stoneskin caps at 350 damage in potency<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you do the math, you will find that, the potency of stoneskin increases by 3 everytime you add 1 MND<\/em>. We can see that in row 11 12 and 13. and at 13, we reach our maximum stoneskin potency again. therefore<\/p>\n

@ 256 Enhancing, You only need 95 MND (total), to maxed out stoneskin potency<\/p>\n

What about enhancing? ^^ didn’t leave em off, since there isn’t too many enhancing gear, equipping an enhancing torque (data sheet, lower table), shows that keeping MND constant both at 62 and 92, a 7 increase in enhancing increasese your stoneskin potency by ‘.’ 6.<\/p>\n

Sho… if you can’t stack up 95 MND, u can try maxing out stoneskin through enhancing :O<\/p>\n

So what rora said is not wrong, blm probably don’t have +40 MND gear compared to a rdm (and can go higher if we use club etc…), therefore seeing a Stoneskin potency increase via using a Neptune staff is not wrong ^^ but for us rdm, ur base is 256 @ 75, with AF1 pants, its +15 enhancing + 3mnd, that gives roughly 15 stoneskin potency + (3×3), a 24 increase in potency, considering a 256 enhancing stoneskin can hold 251 dmg, by default all rdm’s stoneskin should be 251+24 = 275 dmg cap is 350, minumum is 275 u really need to add:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 25 MND (if you use af1 pants for stoneskin) to your equipment swapping<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • 20 MND (if you use af1 pants and af2 gloves)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Which is not too bad, considering rdm should have MND gear anyway `.`<\/p>\n

      This testing was done long ago, i couldn’t find it, so I did one myself ‘.’, so ya, for blm, use ur neptune staff for stoneskin ‘.’ but for rdm who already load up on MND<\/p>\n

      Wse earth staff :D, i mean.. when u cast stoneskin, u probably jus got hate, stoneskin got ripped out and need to recast unless ur at fafnir ‘.’<\/p>\n

      Plus, damage taken (1-2 dmg) vs (9-10 dmg) makes a difference to spell interruption :O u can finish a spell if ur only taking 5 dmg, but gets interrupted if ur taking anything over 15~ (i learn this through parry skillup with 8 mourouche, when you don’t use defender `.` u take more than 10 dmg per mourouche ~ stoneskin hardly ever finish casting) so equipping earth staff and getting ur dmg taken below 10dmg can significantly help you finish casting ur stoneskin ^^<\/p>\n

      btw >< enhancing still good for stuff like barspells hope it didn't bored u and... help u decide what to bring\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • 256 enhancing will have a 23 damage reduction \/ hit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \n
        • 293 enhancing will have a 27 damage reduction \/ hit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Works out rouhgly 11 enhancing \/ 1 damage increase in phalanx. ^^
          \nHope i didn’t bored u, and thanks to tsunade for these rdm talks, afterall, we both jus wanna be better with our job :O, at least i’m still learning from playing rdm better ‘.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
