Apocatastasis?

[Nutz]

As a BLM, I've found that it feels very helpful to toss on the tank (or should the tank be full health, maybe on a healer) in Titan hard. I try to time it so that it'll be up during a mountain buster, right before tumults.

Remember, the more damage that's mitigated, the less work the healers have to do to keep everybody alive, and that's a good thing.

The problem is that Apocatastasis reduces damage from fire, ice, and lightning (the elements a BLM deals with) and not water, wind, or earth so it would have no effect at all during any Titan encounter (or Garuda or the upcoming Leviathan).

Really? I was pretty sure it reduced all elemental damage... maybe I've been using it wrong this whole time.

Whoops.

Yeah and that is really stupid imo. It makes sense and fits to blm theme but it makes it so weak skill when you can only use it on 1 primal fight and there will soon be 4.

That's my problem. How on Earth am I supposed to know what kind of attack it is? If it is not a big fat flash, I could not say it's lightning damage. In the end, all attacks cause damage..how do you guys make the difference? Does Titan only use earth attacks? How do you know? So far I did not use this spell even for once because I never know if it is worth my time or not.

Take for example the Garuda weapon. If I recall correctly it has a lot of points for Wind resistance. I made the fight again using this weapon but I couldn't really tell a difference to a weapon without the resistance effect. When I received dmg, it was still in the same range. So I am clueless about when to use this skill.
