from testing with my stormwaker in sky, vs pots, I'm fairly confident they totally fucked up casting priority. I only ever got caroline to open with silence once, and that was with no maneuvers active. I also got poison II and slow as openers with no maneuvers, and I never once got silence with a wind maneuver, only slow. The only static thing was addle, which was always last. stormwaker cycled randomly through all of the other enfeebles between nukes, and so did soulsoother, and I couldn't get any priority maneuvers to work 100% of the time. Occasionally they'd work, occasionally they didn't.

This all held true both with and without scanner/tactical/anything else.

I have been able to get different enfeebles to cast first with soul soother, maybe its just the rdm helm

[xbobx]

too bad, I can see rdm helm really being a great puppet to solo with, help speed up kills etc.

I'm on the Test Server now, but I see a bunch of unfamiliar names. Are you all using your mains, or using mules?

I know I saw Shinron on the test server b/c I know his main on Fenrir. But how about everyone else?

Pet Innate Physical Damage Taken -% & Armor Plate I/II TEST:

Innate: Stormwaker Frame: 6.8% | Harlequin Frame: 13% | Valoredge/Sharpshot: 19.2%

Armor Plate I: 0 = 4.6% (5%) | 1 = 6.6% (7%)| 2 = 9.8% (10%) | 3 = 14.8% (15%) (Rounded Numbers in Parenthesis)

Armor Plate II: 0 = 9.8% (10%) | 1 = 14.8% (15%) | 2 = 19.8% (20%) | 3 = 25% (25%)

Theoretical Calculations for Valoredge frame: MAX gear PDT- = 22%, Innate PDT = 19.2%, Armor Plate I & II w/ 3 Earth Maneuvers = 39.8% (40%)

MAX PDT%-: 82%

[Nezha]

This number seems high though all my calculations for PDT were repeated multiple times and done consistantly. It makes me wonder if there is a -PDT% Cap for pets and also when using Ducal Guard in Abyssea does it just add to a cap or do 50% damage reduction of the remaining damage after the 82% is subtracted . . .? More testing to be had here!

Pet Innate Physical Damage Taken -% & Armor Plate I/II TEST:

Innate: Stormwaker Frame: 6.8% | Harlequin Frame: 13% | Valoredge/Sharpshot: 19.2%

Armor Plate I: 0 = 4.6% (5%) | 1 = 6.6% (7%)| 2 = 9.8% (10%) | 3 = 14.8% (15%) (Rounded Numbers in Parenthesis)

Armor Plate II: 0 = 9.8% (10%) | 1 = 14.8% (15%) | 2 = 19.8% (20%) | 3 = 25% (25%)

Theoretical Calculations for Valoredge frame: MAX gear PDT- = 22%, Innate PDT = 19.2%, Armor Plate I & II w/ 3 Earth Maneuvers = 39.8% (40%)

MAX PDT%-: 82%

Those are the same numbers I came up with as well. (see first post)
The hawt part is the 6.8 for the mage frame. That means we got stout servant 2 (added to main page) some time between 90 and 95.

It should be 6.8 + 12 % for VE so 18.8 ish (which is pretty much the 19.2 you reported)


Depending on how gear stacks with attachments, I know the gear cap on pets it -50% pdt however if its like summoners you add he innate to that cap so VE should be 19 +50 as the cap.

Should be easy enough to check. VE + 3 earth manuevers = 58 (should cap at 50 if its all considered gear)

If the cap is 70 then you would need the anwing/magian claws to cap.


Good stuff guys keep it coming and I will update the main post as often as I can


Edit: Yes I test on Gilmour (my mule) feel free to send me tells (off to test new magic mortor formula and flame holder on bunnies!)

[Psion]

The cap for pets PDT is 87.5% last I checked, as opposed to players capping at 50%.

Okay i have some data for some math people

Inhibitor: was 5/10/15/20 store tp
Tested using soulsoother (wiki says 400 delay)

0 attachments
0 10 20 30 40 51 61 71 81 91 102
Confirms 400 delay

inhibitor 0 fire maneuvers
0 10 21 32 42 53 64 74 85 96 107
+4 store tp would be
10.7 21.4 32.1 42.8 53.5 64.2 74.9 85.6 96.3 107
Okay, so 0 maneuvers = is 4 store tp (says it used to be 5, so -1???)

inhibitor 1 fire maneuver
0 11 23 35 46 58 70
+14 store tp would be
0 11.7 23.4 35.1 46.8 58.5 70.2
Okay, so 1 fire maneuver = +14 (was +10, so +4 from what it would be)

inhibitor 2 fire maneuvers
0 12 25 38 50 63 76 88 101
+24 stp
0 12.7 25.4 38.1 50.8 63.5 76.2 88.9 101.6
So 2 fire maneuvers is +24 store tp (was 15, so +9)

inhibitor 3 fire maneuvers
0 14 28 42 56 71 85 99
+38 store tp
0 14.2 28.4 42.6 56.8 71 85.2 99.4

I am going to assume
1) Delay is 400 (screw you wiki n your bad formulas)
2) it is 4/14/24/38 store tp

Just let myself get beat on by a Goblin DRK in Newton Movalpolos to test some things out.

1. I let myself get into RED hp
2. I made sure I had debuffs on me (in this case I had Bio and Absorb-CHR on me)

I put up 1 Light Maneuver and Deployed. WHM Automaton used ERASE instead of CURE.

sometimes that could be a good thing. i don't have a problem with that is the next spell is going to be cure. like if you had a really bad paralyze effect on a mob that hits super duper hard, and you cant get utsusemi off, i'd say paralyna might help more than cure. and with a recast delay on -na spells, that'd keep them from not curing you at all like they would do in the past like if the mob had ice spikes.
