Barspell Test

Ok so we had a discussion onGW and I've decid to test some set.

RACE: Mithra
Job:90WHM/45SCH
Related merits: 5/5 barspell
8/8 INT
8/8 Enhancing Magic skill
Target:Ectozoon
Abyssea - Ulegerand
Decent Challenge
Atma used: None
Cruor Buffs: MP/HP only
Spell used: Stonega III

All done with Light arts on.

Test no1.
Enhancing Magic skill: 357
Earth resist: 124
No solace

Set:


1.477 dmg
2.237 dmg
3.477 dmg
4.477 dmg
5.477 dmg
6.477 dmg
7.238 dmg
8.477 dmg
9.478 dmg
10.475 dmg

Test no.2
(this one was out of curiosity wondered if the MDB was a hidden effect from body only or absolutly needed solace as well)

Enhancing Magic skill: 357
Earth resist: 124
No solace

Set:


1.496 dmg
2.505 dmg
3.505 dmg
4.505 dmg
5.502 dmg
6.502 dmg
7.502 dmg
8.502 dmg
9.499 dmg
10.502 dmg

Conclusion:After doing x10 stonega 3 with blessed only and 10x totally naked, I came to the conclusion that the body doesnt have any MDB if you don't have solace on.

Test no.3
Enhancing Magic skill: 357
Earth resist: 124
With solace on

set:

Note: This one has been done during eartsday hence why the DMG spike.

1.444 dmg
2.487 dmg
3.442 dmg
4.487 dmg
5.442 dmg
6.221 dmg
7.210 dmg
8.442 dmg
9.485 dmg
10.442 dmg

Conclusion: Since the test wit blessed has been done during fireday, I can pretty much confirm that blessed is indeed 5 mdb and orison bliaud +2 is 10 mdb paired with solace.Wich means that orison +2 is better then blessed.

Now to full set test.

Thoughs?

I hear that RDM has the better barspells than WHM because it has higher Enhancing Magic Skill!

Oh god, not this again. When I heard this, I facepalmed so hard, I think I still have a mark on my face.

I did said this test wasn't meant to test the set effect.And don't worry I don't take it personally.

No, thank you.

<3 you gais~

I know, needs the old + system back. At least then I could be trigger happy.

*blinks*

If you want to test this more reliably, you could try using Beholders in Abyssea - Tahrongi with Barfira (they use Blaze Spikes). You can hit them a lot faster than you can get a worm to cast Stonega III on you.

I believe that's just because you're a higher level then you were at 85, and it's natural to resist in that scenario. On anything super srs, I'm not resisting anything.

I did'nt though about that @_@

TY for all the nice comment though, this was my first test and as short at it looks like.I started at 2pm and finished at 10:30 pm lol
Alot longuer then I though it would take.

Awe, well thanks for taking the time to do it for us! ^^)
