PLD & The Test Server

[gryyphyn]

I know one new JA is hardly anything worth testing - but some of who don't have access to the test server would really like to know what the New PLD JA is like.

Duration
Recast
Increased shield block %
Enmity loss reduction %
Stacks with Reprisal ?

Appreciated

Hey, be nice, some of us hadn't had a chance to log in yet...

Block rate at capped shield skill at 95 is around 80 with just reprisal, around 90 with just Palisade. They seem to stack and takes the block rate up to around 95%. All of this was tested in Creed +2 and damage from Dyna - Sandy mobs physical damage (mnk/pld/war/rdm/whm) did not exceed 40 on the strongest crit just after casting.

DMG is fantastically reduced with Rampart now. I saw up to a 45% reduction in dmg from Fire4 in Dyna - Sandy and party-wide PDT of around 35% with just pro/shell and rampart up. Whatever they did to it is working or it's based on some other characteristic we don't see in the calculations.

Haven't tested Abyssea yet, will post in this thread when I do to see what changes.
