Is this capped at a particular amount? For example, right now I have 81 enhance skill on Paladin, which according to FFXIclopedia should give me an enspell damage of 8 (SQRT(81)-1). I'm still only seeing 6 damage, with no compensating weather or day factors. Anyone know why this is? |  | ::Quote Selected::  | | | 02-26-2008, 09:27 PM | #2 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Jan 2006 Posts: 184 Style: Dark - Version 5 Thanks: 0
Thanked 7x in 4 Posts Gil: 5,044 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 5,044 Donate | Re: Subbed enspells Use this: FFXI Enhancing Calculator Comes up with 8. Its probably that your terribly low skill is partially resisted or you're fighting something with some element resistance or MDB. My enspells are 19 normally. Yet fighting some DC demons for a coffer key, I was getting consistent 14. I can only assume it was the element I chose or a native magic resistance. These demons were varying jobs, none of which shoudl have had MDB trait.  Madrone Hume Female Leviathan Server

BRD75/RDM37. Enhancing at 109 (capped).
Enspell damage on Enaero with no resists on Firesday and no weather produced a consistent 9 points of damage.
I have no idea why you're seeing only 6 points of damage. A resist would cut the damage in half (rounded down) to 4, not 6.

And yes, the OP is fighting something with Shell, fixed magic damage reduction, or possibly MDB (I can't remember if MAB/MDB enter the equation for enspells.) |  | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 02-27-2008, 06:24 AM | #7 (permalink) | I Got Charged Twice For This :( Brain of Knowledge Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Chicago Suburbs Posts: 1,589 Style: Light - Version 6 My Mood:  Thanks: 166

Icemage | Weapons also get a 85% TMDA cut as well, even without shell you'd be seeing reduced damage on Enspells, and that does work out to 6/hit w/ 81 skill. | | | ::Quote Selected:: | |
