Level 99 Relics and Empyreans

[Cljader1]

Oh, and Ochain is better than Aegis in nearly every way (honestly in mdt+mdb set you shouldn't be taking nearly enough damage to warrant the use of Aegis since WAR and MNK can both survive pretty much every thing there is right now).

Aegis 95 is better than Ochain, you do know with aegis a pld can reach -95% magic damage reduction and aegis has a 60% hidden effect block rate against physical attacks not to mention 240 extra damage added to each shield bash. Ochain can block up too 100% of physical attacks but offer no protection against magical attacks. Aegis is superior

Overall -MDT is ~87.5% Can't go past that even with aegis.

Cap on magic damage received reduction is 50%. However Aegis is a special exception which exceeds the cap.

Actually, -87.5% is the absolute cap a player can have for MDT. -MDT from everything except aegis(gear, atma, shell) is capped at -50%. Aegis, as part of its design, does not count towards this -MDT cap, but as a special source. However, the cap a player can reduce from every source is ~87.5%. So even -50 from gear/shell and -45% from aegis still only works to -87.5%

As much as I like the Emp sheild, I still feel Aegis has it's place. If I had to choose beween the two lifes-savers it would be relic, in this case.
