INT Affect Gravity?

Bind breakage is based off level difference primarily. A higher level player nuking a lower level mob will have a high chance of not breaking. Which is probably why you saw a decrease in bind breakage after 75 was broken

pulled out of your *** much?

[-]

In seriousness, level difference could mean absolutely anything. It could also be validating my theory about INT, as the lower level the mob is, the greater you INT is against it's own.

Edit: Also, you said that with certainty, any evidence/url's to tests?

nope, read about it on bg or something years ago.

lol oh

That's a fair comment, but if INT does indeed affect bind will it not cap eventually? Also, is there a predetermined non-resisted time limit on bind? Or otherwise you don't really have anything to compare to, i don't think, unless i'm missing something...

I think you'd have to cast bind 10000 times and record undamaged duration

and then start recording damage taken to break bind+duration remaining to find out anything

sounds horrible :D

It's likely to cap eventually, but the cap should *hopefully* be somewhat noticeably above what gear and whatnot can currently reach. Otherwise fml, etc.

It has a variable duration much like Paralyze, so I'm not entirely sure how you'd compare that tbh. :(

Yeah, I was thinking something along those lines. Enjoy your eye bleach. :(

It could cap at a low enough point where you wouldn't notice huge difference.

That's what i meant by the "non resisted time limit" as i thought it was variable. However in all honestly i've never really stood and let my bind casts take full effect so i wasn't entirely sure ^^

That and it might not stick for a "set" length of time as Niniann just put.

Fair enough, I read that like 3 years ago so I don't have the original post. Could be that their assumption was flawed.


However, iirc it was based on the idea that casting -any- amount dd on certain monsters would break bind instantly and consistently, and this failed to fluctuate on any amount of int that was feasibly available at the time. I think the author assumed that there might be tiers (which is not unheard of in casting), and since there were no discernible tiers, it was unlikely that int played a significant role in potency.


I'd be guessing at this point, but there may have been a tier flip readily based on em mobs or below that wasn't easily accounted for by int differences.

EDIT:
gave me a chuckle based on the quality of citations given other claims in this thread. best i saw was a wiki post that a couple of sections later said it was unaware which stat actually affected grav

EDIT2: while i can for sure say this wasn't my original idea, i can't reliably say the post i read it from wasn't entirely mistaken

I always went off of the the spells symbol in the menu...
I used mind on enfeebles with an Ankh in the symbol and int for the enfeebles with an eye in the symbol, someone told me that years ago though.

I was also curious as to how Int affected spells modded by mnd too, so thanks for clearing that up.

Unique way to go about it ^^ You can also tell by the animation of the cast. Eg. Silence has a similar cast to cure whereas Blind has a similar cast to warp. These are the light and dark magic animations.

MND affects the Ice Based Paralyze and Earth Based Slow, which by extension are both governed by light.

INT affects blind/II which is straight up dark based. (Ha, i was tempted to put bind but yeah..)

Edit: Yeah i just checked the Ankh and eyes. Your way is 100% correct for all spells currently available to a rdm/blm.

You just blew my mind, I never saw those. >____>;

I was always under the impression MND was used for White Magic enfeebles, and INT was used for Black Magic enfeebles too.

really >.>

It's just a symbol along those lines, ankh goes with white magic spells, eye goes with black magic spells.

Yes :(

haha.. I got something right for a change xD

I haven't played in three years, I'm just assuming you are :p

where is you guys' prima guide to ffxi lol

I wore eremites+1 rings for every enfeeble for about 30 minutes before someone told me to go off those symbols when I started playing lol

"the swirly thing" and the "ball"

brady games orignal guide claimed rdm was an offtank. going by the guides wasn't the safest idea

rdm was an offtank lol

lol

not in a dunes party, and not until years later.

rdm/war with a shield sounds pretty legit to me

also clearly brady and his games could see the future so suck it
