I remember reading a long time ago (Back @75) that it took something like 230+ fire resist to cap out against standard ToAU mobs back in the day.

I was wondering if anyone knew any numbers on what we'd need to cap new content?

Just curious cause i've been rebuilding my sets now i have a bit more gil, trading out the Shadow coat etc, and also building new resist sets but is it worth it for new content? I'm pretty sure i could get something like 300 resist keeping MDT capped w/ shell V.

I'm not very sure when it comes to magic resists, i know it's quite effective if it can be stacked in bulk but i'm not sure what the cut off point is anymore, i know i used to only resist Suzaku spells around half of the time with a ghetto resist set.

Thanks~

310~ is enough to resist Orthrus about 75% of the time.

Hmmm... Okay, thank you. so maybe 350 you'd expect a flat out 95% resist rate. Which means that w/ events such as voidwatch it's probably not possible to cap resist rates solo on RDM. Ie. W/o carol and such. Well, you could but you'd sacrifice alot of MDT i imagine.

Expected as much, maybe we'll get new gear come update. Or maybe i should just go rape FoV again and hope for ***augments lol.

Thanks~~

Scherzo+EA for anything that's liable to kill you. Just saved you lots of time.

Scherzo is SCH ability no? And i got no idea what EA stands for but that's not very helpful for what i'm asking.

brd. smn.

Earthen Armor and Sentinel's Scherzo. If it's likely to one shot you, you'll take significantly less damage. Anything else get a cure.

Scherzo is a BRD song, Earthen Armor is a Titan Bloodpact. It reduces damage far more than Barspells ever could.

Ah kk.

Well it's an option to grouped events but i'm just trying to think about solo wise. And yes, i'm aware it's pretty stupid to solo VW but i'm using VW as an example because as far as i know that's the newest content atm.
