This is the link from Divisortheory: http://www.bluegartrls.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16214
In my OCD'ness I've made huge posts on my LS forums exactly on how things work (mostly for Thf's trying to force up TA damage on Fafnir/et all.. but that's another story).
I've got Ultima in an hour, but I'll do it straight afterwards - give myself some odd gearings and hopefully be able to prove it to you. Then, if you'll believe that, I'll do the same for the Assassin's Legs/Andravanauts post on the Thf side of things.
I realise my tone isn't always shiny, but I don't say stuff deliberately that's wrong. So sorry if I upset you.
If you want to test it yourself on Colibri, it's fairly easy to as well, just use gear swaps and /check.
Remember:
/check will display the ratio without taking into account Level Correction function
If AttackDefenseRatio < 1.00 → High Defense
If AttackDefenseRatio > 1.25 → Low Defense
Other ratio range → No defense info displayed
P.S. I'm going to assume that sig is out of date for your job levels. As a melee, you should know that Madrigal + Sushi is relatively pointless if you're using a decent setup. Not that it'll change your mind much. |
Thanks for the link.
My ADR is useless as both RDM and BRD--I have to rely on the melees for that type of information..
The only difference in my sig is the Bard level and it's currently 62--it's close enough (I'm not doing BRD Meripo yet, I'm just looking at maximization).
Madrigal + Sushi is only pointless if the Sushi brings your Hit Rate so close to 95% that the a portion of the Madrigal is lessened by virtue of the 95% cap. Again, I have to rely on the melees for information on their Accuracy.
The numbers hold up, and this is the reason I said "situational". I still don't know why you're OP said that Madrigal > Minuet... I'm assuming it's a typo now because you clearly don't believe that.
