Re: Provoke
I've been playing Ballista since it first came out as well..And every time I get voked, I end up dieing before it wears off, from that one person. I can't cure myself. I can't use potions. I can't chainspell stoneskin. Nothing. And if I turn to try to fight, that player will obviously crush me. When I try to sprint away, he just sprints & follows me. My defense isnt bad either I just have eva gear just in case their weapon acc sucks. Idk, maybe it's just my bad luck.

You're a buffless taru mage against a War, that's the definition of bad luck

I dont know about you but anytime I play ballista as a DD/Melee (other than NIN) I'm at a big disadvantage from the start to Red Mages who can paralyze me in a second and leave me as a lump of meat to be hit. I've never ever seen magic (even when I use RDM) being resisted in Ballista.

Provoke is so useful against sniggering Red Mages.

Re: Provoke
Oh, believe me, either it is a damage resist or a complete resist, and yes I am aware there are items to make it so a person is "invulnerable" to physical/ranged/magic attacks and with that on it will say it is completely resisted. However, I was going 1 versus 1 with a friend, and it got completely resisted, and he did NOT use one of those, so it definately is possible. All I was saying is that Everyone gets specific resists to spells (Dark Resist, Ice Resist, Lightning Resist, Light Resist, Fire Resist, Wind Resist, you get it, all in the equipment menu), however there is NO defined resist to any job abilities and for most DD's you could look at their job abilities as their spells in a sense. But there is no way to increase the chances to resist job abilities such as provoke, yet there is a way to increase your resist to specific elements. That's all I was saying. And the only reason I posted again was because I thought about it for a second and could finally figure out how to explain it.

Re: Provoke
I guess I agree with you then to be honest, you have a point.

Perhaps an item that can be dug up in ballista, something like "Resist provoke: partially resists provoke" would be a good idea

does anyone know any tests done on ability resists?

could be interesting? maybe they are based on stats in some way? would seem odd if they weren't actually based on anything

Re: Provoke
Hell no, its a joke, I'm 64 now and I sub BLM..My SMN is subbed for when I feel like being an MP whore and it has higher INT and MND then BLM so i sometimes use it if i'm doing stuff in sky with my LS, or if I need to backup heal for CoP. Only other reason than that why I sub it for fun sometimes is for auto-refresh, and I got a vermy saturday..so theres no reason really anymore.
