Thread: 1.20 Attack Magic Test

Hi all, Please read #9 or #10 for a more controllable test result

I just want to share some attack magic test.

1. I'm not good at data analysis, so if you see something I don't. Please let me know. I post this for people who want to understand what they are doing and why they boost this and that stat.

2. This is a very limited black box test such as many things is unknown such as we don't know the correct magic att formula.


The test is done with Thm to test Basic Magic Damage with Int value. So, it's full gear with +14 rings or no. Test object is random mobs L50-54 (North of Ul'dah on the way to bluefog)

Go straight to results:
Spread sheet is here: google doc

In sum:
With +14 int boost, the magic feels it can be landing easier and less resistant by the mob. So far, looks like the int didn't do anything to base damage (same thing with the mind to healing. see this tread). However, it seems to add the damage to magic bonus part.


Now we can discuss about my junks.

My char stat no rings stat: (no Point allotment too)
Int 253
Mnd 242
Pie 236

Att magic 470
Enf magic 418
Magic acc 422

The damage numbers are flying here and there. In general, you can see the similar trend. However, beside the big critical damage, I think there is also small critical damage will pop. Also, I'm using the stone (lower magic eva) > thunder combo only.
This route is what I'm planning to use in ifrit or moogle events (that's why I spent time to test these and optimize my gears XD) Hopes you notice the magic eva down effect only last ~8 seconds. It usually wear right after my thundara. So, thundara damage output now is discuss-able. Then, magic eva down effect... /sigh I'm not sure it works. some of my no-magic-eva-down number is better than the one with it.

Next is mobs. Half of my test is weird because I just happened to pick the vultures. =.= If you are an experienced FF14 fighters (/chuckle), you know amount vultures they, like having different classes, fight differently one and another. One of them seems always do range attack. when you engage it, it fly away first then range att you. When this ranger bird do WS, it bind you and then fly further to att you more. Another type is melee bird. They get closed to you after engage. WS for melee bird is knock-back wind stuffs. Let's go straight to my screw-up. I didn't note down which bird it was until very end.
XD Let's just hope all of them have same stat, and the same LV mob have same stat too.
They are just have different fighting mode... XD


/featherfoot
/dodge cabbages from audience.

Finally, I didn't use the thunder combo correctly. The last thundaga bonus is increase crit damage. I didn't make it work properly. So, that part of damage is just for your reference!

(awww that hurts! I hate archer's range acc! stop aiming my face!)
/run away XD

I'll do more test ^^:

oh I forgot to put one more of my screw-up. As you experienced ff14 players might know (/chuckle), each game month, day and hour might have different elemental strength. I didn't put that down!
/point
"Look! it's Bayohne behind you!"

/run away

oh the up coming test is attack magic pot and mind test to the attack magic damage. I need to think of some way to boost it so it's comparable such is no stat changes.

Hmm...ok I think it's good enough for the basic test.
The datesheet is updated with Attack Magic Pot +8 set. I also filled some missing int and naked data.
If we believe there is no variant between same level same mob and time/weather won't change my thunder damage, Int looks like boosting damage bonus more while Attack Magic Pot raise the base damage of normal magic more.
Int also raised some base magic damage, but not as obvious as the attack magic pot.
I think it makes sense similar as Str and Att relationship.

To sum up, for con nukers, just get M att pot. for thunder combo lovers and you like big explosion, you can consider the int boost and m att pot.

I think for this test I'll stop here. I need a more controllable mob like all of them are same LV to do a better test.
Hopes you guys enjoy.
If you have a better data organizing method or some test you want to do, please let me know.

Interesting.

Hi all,

Here we go again...
after killed 810+ raptors, I have some teaser result to share with you guys first before I go to sleep ^^

First of all, since the satisfying mind vs cure data is out, I really want to do a similar thing Attack Magic Potency (AMP) vs Dmg and Int vs Dmg. Today, I done lots killings with different AMP values. Also, I write down the mob level and trying to "predict" the damage profile when mob level go higher. Fortunately, they are all pretty linear**. As previous test (#1 post) discussed, AMP doesn't helps thunder attack bonus is agreed by today's test. So, here are the charts and summary data in jpg.






Thunder Damage vs Monster LV


Thundara Damage vs Monster LV


There might be some mistake there. I really sux at doing data analysis, so I'll review again these problematic one.
Later I'll also do a AMP vs damage. Once I got my Int data ready, same ~900 kills, I'll post everything as Google Document again.



PS... The Magic Acc vs Int test, it's too dangerous for myself to gather large amount of data... I really need someone to tank for me. However, don't volunteer too. I generally don't accept helps from people XD I'll think of some way to get around it ^^ such as the Snurble has super big magic resistance... I hope I can find some, definitely not from leve, around L50ish

Hi all,

Finally done the INT and Attack Magic Potency (AMP) vs damage test.
To sum up, AMP add more to the base of the damage INT add more to the combo bonus.
So it's all expected.
