I was trying to build myself a chart showing which elemental shot to use to enhance each enfeeble that can be applied to a mob. This is just for a quick reference guide I can glance at if I have a brain fart while partying (once I get Quick Draw) and don't remember what element governs the enfeebles applied.
Now, simple as this might sound, I think I may be getting too in-depth with what enfeebles could be enhanced by Quick Draw. This leads me to some questions. A lot of spells are easy enough to know whether QD would stick with it. Others are not so clear. I'll give some examples and see what kind of help you guys could offer me. Some of these things probably wouldn't be worth using a QD on (like Flash), but for the sake of having something comprehensive, I'd still like to include it.
Black Magics (similarly; NIN enfeebles): While I'm fairly sure QD would strengthen the elemental debuffs (since they are DoT), I'm not clear on ancient magic. AM seems like burst damage, but would QD enhance the elemental weakness the AM spell applied? Or would it be better to use, say, a Lightning Shot after Flood to try to take advantage of the weakness to lightning applied, and get a bit of damage in?
Flash (similarly; Stun): It temporarily blinds the enemy, but could a QD Light Shot lengthen the duration of the effects of Flash? I would assume you'd have to land that shot quickly, but would it even work?
Bard Songs: I would assume that, in terms of QD, these would be similar to AM. For example, Ice Threnody weakens the enemy to ice, but the song is a fire based spell. Same predicament as before: Fire Shot to try to strengthen the effects of ice weakness? or Ice Shot to take advantage of ice weakness?
Stat Down effects (similarly; DRK's Absorbs): Does QD work with things like VIT Down? Say VIT has Earth properties, would a Wind Shot enhance that effect? I'm melting my brain here.
Additional Effect:__: Lastly, would QD stick with things like Blind Bolts added Blindness? Not sure.
Dang it all, if I can get this list together and complete, I'll post it here in it's finality.
