requiescat elements: Help ( it has WS elements)

[Theytak]

Atonement/spirits certainly are not breath type DMG. Hp modification aside, Breath dmg is subject to a magic acc check. Failing results in resists. 1/2, 1/4 and so on.

While mobs can have a static dmg reduction(rather misleadingly called resistance) against spirit DMG type , there's not a magic acc check, and normal magic resists do not occur.

The difference fairly clearly indicates a different dmg class than breaths.

yea, I think my brain shut off halfway through whatever point I was trying to make

However, the idea of testing Requiescat on mobs that resist atonement is not a bad idea. The result could make a very clear distinction between the two.

I was out in abyssea kon as I was reading this thread, so I did a quick test.

T1 VNM, meanderer.

Atonement, 300% TP. Capped Hate.

375 DMG. Or a 50% reduction.

Requiescat: 900~1,500.
Had cruor buffs, But not DD atmas. (was playing with max possible DE+Holy II dmg ^^)
Just used my Chant set for ws.

For perspective, I used it a few times on the nearby gneiss leeches.
Gneiss leech + Req:1k~1.6k dmg.

Doesn't seem like req is dealing half dmg. So While It may be Non-Elemental DMG, it's clearly in a different class than Atonement.
