Sleep resist and how it works!

[Mitski]

Why does everyone forget about Sleep Ward potions? If you have 33 baseline resist with melds + HQ food, you'll be at 53 with a HQ Sleep Ward.

Over 50% reduction is nothing to scoff at. If you Purify the first sleep and pop a potion before the 2nd sleep hits you will spend a max of 10s slept over the next minute.

So, what you're saying is, if a player forsakes all other benefits from materia/food/potions/purify and commits themselves entirely to countering 1 spell, they have a 60 second window? I'm not saying the potions (or sleep resist in general) is bad, but it does not justify the maximum duration of sleep.

With 13 meldable pieces equipped (one hand wep + offhand)...

PvP accessories are not meldable. Anyone who tries to use lv70 PvE crafts in high ranked arena will be crushed, sleep or no sleep.

I'm quite aware of how strong sleep is. The duration will likely be lowered in the coming patch. In general though the healer should be the only one concerned with stacking resist. You sacrifice almost nothing melding 10-20 resist on pieces that have lower stat caps (no chest/legs/weapon). Even without food you can exceed 1/3 reduction in duration for sleep/stun/slow etc after using a pot.
